try to <ctrl>-C into it.
Non-SMSQE-OSs don't start a job into the foreground if it's not started with EXEC_W

If that doesn't work, start it using EXEC_W instead of EXEC

I change boot:

- EXEC_W replacing EXEC
- Added "50 cls: mode 1"

This makes to start full screen on all QL. :mrgreen:

Ah the boot file needs:

Code: Select all

10 MODE 4
Would also be an idea to change line 200 to read:

Code: Select all

200 EXEC_W device$&'advent_exe'
Then you don't have to use CTRL C to type into the adventure

On the other hand it doesn't really hurt to know some standard procedures for the QL like activating input to a job's window or setting the mode ;)

(Another one for the ever-growing FAQ....)
