C128 SCROLL SLOW-DOWN
by John Poland
Reprinted from RANDOM BITS via CURVE via CHUG

Want to slow down the scroll of a program listing or a long directory listing without holding the C= key?  Press the ESC key, then the letter A key.  Lists or directories will now be slow until RESET, RUN/STOP-RESTORE, or ESC C (press ESC, then C).

MULTITASKING ON THE C-128

This info comes from Com'putoy Cult May-June '88, via BYTS and BITS Nov. '88 via The Function Keys via GOCUG.

When you run a program in the 64 mode that replaces BASIC, such as "Designer's Pencil" or "Doodle", you can press the reset button to return to the 128 mode. You can run a basic program in 128.  Break out of the program and type "GO64", and the first program is still running on the 64 side.

If your C-128 just locked up while running a BASIC program, here's how to regain control of the computer and save the BASIC program in memory.  Hold down the run/stop key and press the reset button.  You will then come up in the MONITOR.  Type 'x' to get back to BASIC.  List your program - it should still be there.
