basic256 (0.9.2) crushes under Ubuntu 9.04

and problem with typing some another last letters - for example with "e" at "circle" command

I encountered basic256 locking up on the "t" when typing "print" or pasting text with the "t" character.

Work around found:
Instead of launching from the main menu, open a terminal window.
At the prompt type "basic256 &" (no quotes) and close the terminal window by typing "exit" (no quotes).

BASIC-256 launches and runs without the aforementioned issue.

Happy programming!!!

Thank You - it works!

This bug also affects 9.10, none of the above fix work.

yes this bug also effects 9.10,but the above fix worked..
i created a launcher on the desktop with the command "basic256 &" ,and now i can type print etc..

I'm running 9.10 x64. This above fix did not work for me.

The fix worked for me but only for a short while about 15 lines of code later it crashed! and kept crashing!!! Anybody any bright ideas?

BASIC-256 0.9.2 is very out of date. The current version 0.9.6.27 runs very well under 10.04 and 9.10. There are many other fixes and changes. The source code is available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/kidbasic/

Hi folks,
I'm working on updating the package in Debian, I'm hoping to have it uploaded within the next few days. Afterwards, I'll see what I can do about getting it synced into Ubuntu.
