[cctalk] TRS-80 BASIC oddity

[Bill Gunshannon via cctalk]

I am going to assume there are other TRS-80 people hanging out
here and go ahead and ask this:

Has anyone here used the DEFUSRx command?

I tried to use it for something I am working on and it
didn't work.

So, I copied the example program from page 115 of the
Model III Disk System Owner's Manual and, guess what,
it didn't work either.

150 DEFUSR1 = &H7D00
returns a Syntax Error

150 DEFUSR1 = 32000
works fine.

Anybody else ever run into this?

I can't believe something as blatant as that could have
gone on for all those years.
