Thanks. Tested and works great on my Tandy 200.

Is the plan for TSWEEPER to eventually take advantage of the larger playing
field on the Tandy 200 (and other Model Ts)?

Nice. That works much better. I suggest having F8 exit to the Menu since
that is more typical.
By the way, when the game is over, the screen still says "Exit to BASIC
[F8]". However, F8 doesn't work at that point.
Also, if one hits "Y" to play again, it takes them to the title screen
instead of directly playing the game again.
Those are all very minor points. I think you've done a great job. The only
change I think would make a huge difference for most people would be
automatically flagging squares when a player presses space bar on a number
and it is obvious that all the remaining squares must be flagged. For
example, if the number 4 has four spaces revealed and one flagged adjacent
to it, then the remaining three unknown squares must be mines and should be
flagged.
