@Pete sounds like it's more a print issue. Maybe something like:
DO
PRINT debug_info; 'somewhere up higher in the code
'more stuff
a$ = INPUT$(1)
a = VAL(a$)
PRINT a$, a
_DISPLAY
LOOP
debug_info might be 0. a$ might be 1. Printing you'd have "01 1". The 0 and 1 would be together due to the semicolon, which could be a simply typo of where you'd expect a comma to go.
The prints are gone, the issue is gone, so I'd imagine the issue was probably with the print statements somewhere.
And I still wonder if Dimster was eating cheetos at the keyboard again. Got a crumb stuck under the "0" so it wasn't working, and sometime overnight his cat hopped up on the keyboard and cleaned it out for him with its tongue so it works properly now on the forums.
