QUESTIONS and ANSWERS
=====================

How do you save a PAYLOAD program
onto the FEEDBACK disk? Can you LOAD
it from your own disk then save it
onto the FEEDBACK disk, and then write
your comments in STARLINE?
>Yes!! That is exactly what we want
you to do. Also be sure to include
your full address when sending in
your comments.

I don't know why but COLORLISTER
is not working for me. I don't have
an assembler yet so I can't check it.
Maybe I'm just executing it wrong.
I need some help!!!!!
>SORRY!!! This is due to a mess-up
here at LOADSTAR. Here is what you
need to do:
>LOAD "M.COLORLIST",8,1
>NEW
>POKE 53281,0 <for a black background>
>CTRL-2 <for white text >
>SYS 52069 <turn on colorlist >
>LOAD "<YOUR OWN PROGRAM>",8
>LIST
The program should now appear in many
different colors. We hope this has
solved your problems.

I think that JUMP on issue #6 is
great but after using the magic doors
twice to open new tunnels and collect-
ing all the treasures nothing else
happens. The doors don't do anything
and everything stays the same. Am I
missing something here or is this the
end of the game? Any opinions......
P.S. What's the purpose of the board
that says JUMP 10 in the bottom left
corner?
>See the ADVENTURE HELP section for
your answer.

I like your little text editor.
Is there a way for me to use it for
my own work?
REGARDS,
Joel
>Yes! You can make a copy of the
FEEDBACK disk and then use the
STARLINE as much as you want.
The STARLINE uses these files:
STARLINE
SLKEYIN
ROUTINES
Good luck!!

When loading some programs the
screen sometimes shows 'NAME',8, 0.
I know ,8,1 is for ML programs. What
is the significance of the '0' ?
>The zero tells the computer to LOAD
the program into normal program area.
This is the same as:
LOAD "NAME",8
Zero is the default value for the
second number.

I have lost track of for how long
my subscription will last. I do not
want to miss a single issue. Will
there be a payment notice when the
last issue arrives ?
>Yes!! Rhonda tries her hardest to
send a payment notice along with
your last issue.

Hello,
I have many programs that I have
either received on disks thru the mail
or typed out of books and magazines
that I would like to share, but I am
afraid to send them for fear of
violating some kind of copyright law.
Please let me know if I can do this
without getting into trouble and how
this is done. I am still not sure how
to do everything.
>We at LOADSTAR do not publish public
domain programs or programs with
unknown origins. We prefer programs
which are actually written by our
subscribers. When you do send in a
program, please make sure that it is
your own program or have the author's
permission to publish it.

I like the music by J.S.Bach. Where
is he from...no zip code listed.
I couldn't find a way out of BASEBALL
ADVENTURE. I used EXIT, QUIT, END,
STOP, etc.. What is the magic word?

>You have to win the BASEBALL game to
exit.

I enjoyed the Weights and Measures
program in issue #6, but I was
wondering what reference work Charlie
Brown used to obtain the conversion
factors.

him at: <please send SASE>

Dear Sirs,
Do the DS/DD disks that you sell
have notches on both sides as does
your demo disk ?
Why can't I copy this disk? I would
like to use starline myself.
Thanks,

>Yes! Our disks come double notched.
>You CAN copy this disk! You can use
the STARLINE for your own needs.
