I'll need to see the code of the offending program to say if there's something wrong.

Just another user error!

version 9.4.2 has been released https://github.com/irmen/prog8/releases/tag/v9.4.2

It contains an important bugfix for a certain assembly addressing mode error.

[desertfish]

The next version will include some support for Vera FX. To speed up certain operations quite substantially.

- hardware 16 bit multiplications
- fast video ram clear/fill routine
- ...maybe some more

Cool stuff.

Prog8 version 9.5.1 has been released https://github.com/irmen/prog8/releases/tag/v9.5.1

It contains fixes for a couple of code generation errors that I found since 9.5, and some more optimizations.

Just discovered the 'shell'! Too cool! I was thinking about this, time to play!

[yock1960]

So, most of my programs are too big and or use hires graphics, which I thought would be a problem to use with 'shell'. I had recently been messing around with the byte-sieve example program, coincidently adding the ability to accept 'command line' input from BASIC, so this wasn't too difficult to get working in the 'shell environment'. My eyes next fell on Tehtriz. It works fine, but after adding the use of the F3 key to exit, it exits to BASIC instead of the shell. My first thought was the IRQ change for PSG sound, but restoring the original IRQ didn't help (assuming I did it correctly...). Any thoughts?

There is no concept of loading multiple programs at the same time on the x16.
The shell doesn't "gosub" into the programs you launch from it, it replaces itself with the program and starts it.
So there's no shell left to return to if the program exits.
