Now that you mention it: I remember I had a patched version of the Turbo Pascal runtime library to get a decimal comma instead ot the usual point in the compiled .exe file. ;-)

Looking at your screenshot and the BASIC code I wonder how this interfered with the comma in PRINT statements: In BASIC the comma is used for printing tabulated data: So in a standard environment PRINT 12,345 returns

 12         345

Fortunately, on the '41 it is just a matter of setting/clearing a flag. ;-)
After a master clear (MEMORY LOST) the first thing I do is a CF 28.
