Item 1 happens for me too (although I don't see a use for such a routine).

F1 in the Editor doesn't save to the SD card, only to working memory. To save to SD card you must exit the Editor (F1) and SAVE "filename" at the prompt.

Cheers,

Plasma (and all),

the code sequence <ESC>[2J is the ANSI code for CLEAR SCREEN
The code sequence <ESC>H is the ANSI code for HOME CURSOR.

My guess is that your terminal programme (PuTTY, TeraTerm, HyperTerminal) is not set to show ANSI codes.

Plasma,

You can also edit a file direct from the B: drive and save it back there with the F1 key, e.g.

type: edit "autorun.bas"
........do your editing.......
press: F1

...the edited file is saved straight to the SD card.

As per the MM manual:

EDIT - Invoke the full screen editor. This can be used to edit either the program
currently loaded in memory or a file on either drive A: or B:. It can also be
used to view and edit text data files.
If EDIT is used on its own it will edit the program memory. If 'filename' is
supplied the file will be edited leaving the program memory untouched.
