Conflict with XSUB and MBASIC or PIP ----- Question: Why do I have problems using XSUB with some programs, in particular MBASIC and PIP? Answer: Any program, like MBASIC, that uses single character input or direct console i/o cannot work with XSUB which only supplies console buffer input. PIP commands can be given by XSUB but CON: input cannot. Another problem with PIP is that you cannot exit with just a RETURN since SUBMIT does not allow blank lines. The following patch will allow PIP to be exited with either a RETURN or any single character (usually a period) followed by a RETURN.
