Thanks, Dave.
Was the group mark on the Model 2 typewriter keyboard? I don't recall
it from the CADET. It was associated with the 1311 disk option anyway.
How does one print a flagged numeric blank? (the "dump numeric"
instruction prints it)?
Thanks,
Chuck

Dave,
I'd love to see the keyboard and printed output; unfortunately, the
listserv strips out anything but test.?? Got a link?
