Mike,

Pete is right; the CoCo version of Dynacalc is hardwired for the CoCo display
and keyboard. I discovered this the hard way when I tried to invoke Dynacalc
from a script file and then pass commands to it. While this process is clearly
described in the generic Dynacalc OS9 manual, it doesn't work on the CoCo
version at all (which is a real shame).

On the other hand, I didn't have much success getting the generic version to
run on the CoCo, at least not using the keyboard and display. I didn't try it
with an external terminal. I suggest you might want to scrounge a generic
version and play with it; there must be some around (I've got one, but don't
really want to part with it).

Ian
