Unofficial correction to DOSTIP.006 There appears to be a typographical error in DOSTIP.006 (PowrDos will not operate properly with that change as written). It appears that the correct pokes are: POKE 64254,193:POKE 64255,77 This appears to correct LOAD [ascii]; however MERGE still is not correct in that it will erase any lines in BASIC just as if LOAD were called.
