 My knowledge of dBMAN 5 extends to only a few days but there
 appears to be a bug in the INPUT <PROMPT> TO <VAR> command. It
 truncates decimal numbers to intergers. This would appear to be a
 bug to me as they give "price" as a <VAR> in one of their sample
 problems. Any ideas? The GET command will get around this but it
 is not as convient in certain cases.

 Also I would really like to known how to get out of Err30, "Too
 many suspended program files". The manual says use <ResumePrg> or
 <KillPrg>. I have been unable to find any program with the prefix
 "Resume" or "Kill". I would really appreciate a solution as up
 until now I've been rebooting....not a great way to debug a
 program.

 Many thanks
