Virtual T is >teaching us bad habits! <snip> Except if you use any character in your program whose value is greater than 127d, then the ASCII file will not have the IBM equivalent of the character but instead will contain one of the BASIC commands in it's place. Something that was never tested for and needs fixing. I found this out because I use character 167d in several of my programs, and tried to do some debugging with Virtual-T and saved the result with the "Save Basic as ASCII" option and then couldn't read the file on my T102.
