- I have a question:
-
- I've had Falco's Tetris 3.0.1 in my 48 for some time, and it's always
- worked just fine. Last week, however, I was playing it and tried to
- pause it (class was ending :-). It then proceeded to blank the screen
- and put the hourglass symbol on solid. I let it sit this way for about
- 30 seconds and then tried to kill it, but it wouldn't respond to ON or
- OFF, so I yanked my solve equation library (the calc was still on).
- I realize this was probably a bad idea, but I didn't know what else to do.
-
- This brought the calc back into a usable mode, but I can no longer move
- into the Tetris directory or purge it from memory. Trying to move into it
- blanks the screen & lights the hourglass for ~3 seconds and then places
- me in my home directory with the math menu on the screen. Trying to
- purge the directory just sits there with the hourglass on forever.
-
- I don't care to recover the directory, but I do need the ~8K of space
- back. Any ideas how I can do this? I do have a cable & PC, if it helps.
-
- Thanks in advance,
- Obi-Wan
