Funny, that is how I started too! The first program I saw was a "bird" that flew randomly around the text screen and pooped when you pressed space bar. There was a "car" that when from left to right on the bottom of the screen and then started over, like a clock. You had to hit it. The other game was Zork. -- Douglas E Knapp Why do we live?
