For users who have purchased the printed manual, there are a few other typos including the following:
- Page 125 – Running the system Turnkey, section 2 should read:
10 POKE 1,1:POKE 2,2
20 ?CHR$(4)”-ACOS” - Page 132 – FLAGS
FLAG(38) is actually used by the Anonymous posting routines, so it is NOT available for option expansion
