- It was on the night of 29-Jan-98, when no creatures were stirring, and all was
- silent. Suddenly, geosync@mail.ozemail.com.au jumped out from behind a rock
- and wouldnt stop shouting about "Strings and Things" until I was forced to
- knock them out:
- »-> Hello all,
-
- »-> As I`m developing a program sometimes I want to go to the Direct mode
- »-> and check the contents of strings. But lately I`ve been getting strange
- »-> results.
- »-> If I want to look at the contents of F$(x) and I look at say F$(1) it
- »-> displays the correct string but if I try F$(12) or something higher I
- »-> get the actual AMOS code being printed on the screen with control chars
- »-> doing strange things like wiping text and redrawing etc.

- Ive had this problem a lot. I found a couple of ways to prevent it was to give
- it a rather high SET BUFFER command at the top (to give you more variable
- space than actualy needed) plus I checked my code and removed anything that
- would poke and peek around any variables with VARPTR. After some messing, it
- just disappeared as fast as it came, hehe. I also used to get it with
- particulay large strings.
