Look into c.s.a for my infos about AmigaBASIC on the A3000, does in this
case also apply for A2500 (INPUT and PRINT give no problems here).
On my machines, the editor itself never crashed, it was always a fault
happened before, eventually arising after reentering the editor. To
avoid this: a) Avoid ANY real SUBroutine (sad, I know), b) be very
prudent with ON TIMER or TRON/TROFF, I suspect them. Remember that you
must invoke AmigaBASIC from CLI/Shell when you use the dos Execute
command from LIBRARY "dos.library" (this applies not only to 020/030).

BTW why are you calling this wonderful Motorola processor Z68020???
I'm very glad it's not by Zilog and has nothing to do with a Z80.
(The most important thing: Real Processors must have a '6' in front,
avoid those with a '8'.)
So, M68000 would be more appropriate, most people just say 68000.
