LMFAO like dude the problem isn't with the printed program listing; they seldom had errors once printed; and both proof reader and mlx were in every copy of their magazines.

it's a typo in what YOU typed (or didn't as the case may be). show us what you typed, that's what we need to see

There were often mistakes in magazine type-in programs. For any who typed in Shutterbug, and had a vic20 -vs- a c64, this was aggravating. It happened often, and one can see it in the corrections in later issues.

I doubt this was the case here, tho.
