[Coco] Strange behavior in MESS

[T. Franklin]

Ahhh!!!

Thanks! You verified it's not me. I'm running version 0.129. It seems they made a change in the screen refresh routine (or something along those lines) that maybe causing the problem. I would love to use VCC but to my knowledge, it doesn't have a debugger.

Thanks for the help.

(Screen goes black but emulator still responds asexpected..)Version 0.136 worked okay the first run. typed RGB and everything was backto normal.
