[colorforth] Strange behaviour.

[Peter Appelman <peter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The following will make your CF floppy obsolete, warning!

Starting with an original floppy created from color.com obtained from
Chuck Moore's site:

block 30 the word logo is defined as:
logo show black screen 800 710 blue box 600 50
 at 1024 620 red box 200 100 at 700 500 green
 box text cf keyboard ;

edit this word to:
logo black screen 800 710 blue box 600 50 at
 1024 620 red box 200 100 at 700 500 green box
 text cf show keyboard ;

This is to eliminate screen redrawing of course. I expect the keyboard
display to be confusing, no problem, a simple 'e'+space will get back to
the editor..

Continue:  save  and  boot. :)

If it behaves as it does on my system. The floppy is toast.

(If this is a known problem, ignore this, and point me to the solution,
please. And if I'm violating some CF rule I didn't know, .. ;)

I also did the following:

  replace on block 18 'mark empty' with 'mark 30 edit'. This works, and
  will show block 30. Now I can edit the word logo, put show before
  keyboard, save and boot. Boots ok, of course. Empty  will now show the
  logo screen ok.

I did not find this problem in this way. I went back to the original
system to prove it is nothing I added, or changed to CF.

Peter.
