Ok, you're the man... So, am I just not using the right terminology...? =P
Well, I remember a while back in July sometime that a few people said they
were having difficulty whenever they used the Halt command, and they did
_Something_ that was very general that would fix this... Didnt it have to do
with the interrupts? Well, anyways, why dont you tell us what that _Something_
is, and just explain anything that is involved with using this command...
Thanks
