I discovered the problem with the 'KEY (n) ON' statement. While the KEY statement is a feature from IBM BASIC as far down as the cassette models, the 'KEY (n) ON' and 'ON KEY' statements are Advanced Basic commands. The BASIC on the Tandy 1000 and 2000 incorporates the features of the IBM Advanced Basic, that's why the program would run there. I had to swap two of the keys, and then the program would run under BASICA on the PC-AT with no problem. Mike Yetsko trsvax!techsup!bbimg!mikey (How does Basic work? Where do you put the stack? Where's the segment register? OH NO! NOT A SEGMENT REGISTER!)
