SYMPTOMS
The LINE INPUT statement, in a compiled application, fails after 341 iterations. The system hangs for a moment, then displays random ASCII characters on the screen. On the newer Macintoshes (i.e., Macintosh II, Macintosh IIcx, Macintosh SE/30), the machine will just hang. In the QuickBasic interpreter environment, the problem doesn't occur.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in Microsoft QuickBasic Version 1.00 for the Macintosh. We are researching this problem and will post new information as it becomes available.

Code Example
1000 LINE INPUT &quot;Part No?&quot;; a$      l% = l% + 1 PRINT l%     GOTO 1000
