  • Merlin full screen editor doesn't work from hard disk

    From Bill Chatfield@21:1/5 to All on Fri Jul 9 06:17:00 2021
    If I run Merlin 2.58 from a floppy and start the editor, I get the full screen editor. If I copy all the Merlin files to a hard disk and start the editor, I get the line editor, not the full screen editor. I can't find any info on this in the manual. Any
    ideas about how I can get the full screen editor to work from the hard disk?

    Merlin 2.57 does not have this problem. The full screen editor works fine after it is copied to the hard disk.

    Bill,

    Did you ever resolve this? I can confirm exactly the same behavior. Thank you! Ben
