Subject: KAYPRO W/ WORDSTAR
I'm writing this on behalf of some friends. What could be causing Wordstar on
a Kaypro to loose all digits and punctuation on the monitor after about five
minutes of operation? The characters exist in the text file and print fine but
do not display on the CRT. After about five minutes of operation these
characters are lost but the editing session can still continue with everything
behaving normally except for the display. The digits and punctuation
characters disappear and are replaced by blank spaces on the CRT. I'm sorry I
don't know more specifics on the machine and version of Wordstar being used,
but it was purchased, in the US, in the early 80's. This machine has served
them very well in Spain, and now in the US.
I use Wordstar and CPM on my Apple ][+ and still like it very well.
