Um. . . what?

TW

Ok, check out the attached program. I did a couple of small changes to Rational.

I eliminated everything up to the WHILE and put in a 2 'C' STO. That forces it to execute the WHILE loop and reduces the size of the program.

The only problem I could see with the WHILE loop, as you mentioned before, is that you couldn't exit using the CANCEL so I added a C PURGE and a HALT in the IF ELSE part. I didn't check the rest of the program for the same problem with CANCEL, I'll leave that up to you.

Also, you had "PLEASE CHECK" "C/R" +. Since you have a constant string, you could just do "PLEASE CHECKC/R" and eliminate the +.

I hope that helps.

I should have used KILL not HALT. Sorry
