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!!!
FYI. I entered this work around in launchpad. Please note following URL:
Thanks very much I will try this.
I may try using a bash script to run this as I can then keep it as a shortcut in the education menus if I want children to use this.
Just curious, why do you think putting the & after in terminal works? What are you telling the system to do with that?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I am running basic 256 on a webbook with ubuntu netbook remix 9.04.
I have not got past a 'hello world' program as everytime I try to write" for i = 1 to 10"
The program freezes as soon as I get to the t in to.
Has anybody else had this problem as I cannot seem to find a solution.

K so I'm running Kubuntu 9.10, and I'm having the same problem, crashing whenever I type "t". The fix doesn't work for me.
I'm getting this on jaunty. Above workaround doesn't solve the issue. Freezing occurs frequently when doing things in the edit window.
I compiled my own binary on jaunty (9.04) and all seems well. Version 0.9.2 seems to be giving better results than 0.9.5 so far.
