Remember back in those prehistoric days, the program had 10 LUNs to use? Early in Comet's history, we increased this to 50, and then (in this century), we further increased the number of LUNs to 100.

When designing Comet32, we decided to reserve LUN zero for the controlling terminal. Some of the old tricks like closing lun 0 and opening a file on it will no longer work. In fact, we ignore a close or open of LUN 0 altogether. This is to accommodate the close & open(0)term$ that can be found in many programs. You can now just code this as "close". That will close all LUNs except zero. Sorry, I forgot to document that. It is in the WIKI now.

I don't think Comet32 will ever emulate Comet 504. I hope no one is actually still running 504. That was released back in the early 90's if I remember correctly. As to the other problems mentioned, The insert key works fine for me, and my foreground text looks good too. This is puzzling.
