What happens if you run the following code?

Code:

::
   CK0NOLASTWD

   "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWX"
   BINT4 #>CHR >T$

   BINT8 ZERO_DO
      DUP PTR 4C0D0
   LOOP

   DROP
;

Are any lines split, or do you simply see "A..X" printed in sequence on 8 separate lines?

Using my 50g/82240B, I see the lines all intact with no splits/omissions/additions. I tried this using a larger value for the loop count (15), and also with DELAY at 1.05 and 3.6. All tests showed the same results (full 24-character lines with no splits).

Are you able to provide a short sample of code that shows the problem? Is there some pattern of characters which makes a difference?
