Hi, is there a way to synchronize to VBLANK in TurboForth? A counter would be useful, or maybe an efficient way to wait for the vertical blanking interrupt to occur. Any hints would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! -Hans

Thank you very much, Lee! This will make my weekend much nicer, looking forward to wrapping up at work now

Hello, I am a TI-99/4A noob. As a kid, I was mostly a Z80 user, but I've recently acquired a TI as a pandemic survival hobby and finally got the machine up and running (with TMS-RGB, FinalGROM99 and nanoPEB). Now it's time to actually use it For my question: I've played with TurboForth a little and I like it very much. However, I did not find a way to break out of an endless loop, so basically I reset the machine everytime I hung it up. I imagine that there might be a way to break back into the Forth interpreter, but what would that be? Is there a magic key combination that I have not guessed? Likewise, when I start Extended Basic with the nanoPCB fresh from the factory plugged in, it seems to boot from the floppy into the nanoPEB configuration program. How do I get to the Extended Basic prompt instead? Any help would be appreciated! -Hans
