No, I did not do anything with GRAM and DEFINE. I mostly copied from one of the examples and made changes to it. Thanks for your comments.

I'm new to INTY Basic and have a question about sprites. Below are 2 lines from my first program. All it does is move a few sprites around the screen. My question is about the line for SPRITE 3. When I run the program, sprite 3 does not appear, and I can't figure out why not. Sprite 2, and Sprites 0 and 1, appear correctly. SPR05 is in the code the same way as all the others. Does anyone notice and error in the line for sprite 3? SPRITE 2, X + VISIBLE, Y, SPR04 + SPR_GREEN SPRITE 3, X + VISIBLE, Y+10, SPR05 + SPR_RED I have the Inty Basic Programming book on order, but it hasn't arrived yet. Once I have it, I'm sure it will answer my question. Thanks.

You are both right. I haven't used this computer in a long time. I forgot about 6 months ago I disconnected the audio cables because I needed them for something else. I connected new ones and the audio works fine. Thanks for the replies.

Yesterday, for the first time in many months, I powered on my Amiga 2000HD and it had no sound. It's been a while since I used it, but I'm certain the sound comes out of the monitor and I don't need any audio cables going from the computer to the monitor, right? I connected a pair of external speakers to the audio ports on both the computer and monitor, but nothing came out of them? Does anyone have suggestions on what I can do to fix the sound? Is there a headphone jack anywhere on the machine? This is a decent computer I bought off of eBay 10 years ago and I hope to keep it working. Thanks. Bill

I'm trying to hook up a printer to my XEGS system w/disk drive, but can't get it to work. The printer works when connected directly to the XEGS, but not with the disk drive connected. I tried many different combinations of connecting the cables to different ports on the printer and disk drive, but nothing has worked so far. Does anyone know if there's a specific arrangement required? Thanks.

Does anyone know where to get a copy of the manual for the Action! programming language? Wikipedia has a lot of imaterial and links regarding Action!, but I'm looking for beginner's information, like how to load and save, and basic syntax stuff. Thanks.

Will someone here answer what is hopefully a simple assembly language question for me? I'm playing with the Atari Assembler cartridge on an Atari XEGS but can't get any sample programs to work. I have 2 different Atari assembly language books, but get a syntax error when I compile anything. Here's one of the simple programs I typed in from a book: 10 *=$1000 20 CLC 30 LDA #0 40 LOOP ADC #1 50 CMP #3 60 BNE LOOP 70 END Then when I type the ASM command I get a error number 6, which is a syntax error, on the *=$1000 command. Does anyone have an idea as why I get this error? Thanks. Bill
