- Are you sure? I though it was 0x501... and the Helpreply was 0x502 (or is
- my memory failing me again?!)
-
- An easy test to do is to put a debugging 'printf' into your message handler
- and print out the recieved message numbers... I use
-
- bbc_vdu(26); bbc_vdu(4); /* get the cursor in VDU4 mode at top left of scren*/
- printf("Message number: %x", blah);
-
- or you could just use the printf, and redirect your programs output to
- a file
- (in !Run, change
- Run <Obey$Dir>.blah
- to
- Run <Obey$Dir>.blah > <Obey$Dir>.output
- )
-
- This way, you'll know *what* messages you're actually recieving, which is
- always a good place to start working out why nothing's happening...
