[smu johnson]

Here is the code that proves this.  I have shown it to 2 other co-workers

/*
  Copy the string below in Windows and right-click to paste it into the GET
  Take note of how long it takes to write the capital letters to the screen

  abcdefghijkmlopqrstuvABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijkmlopqrstuv
*/

FUNC MAIN()

  LOCAL VAR := SPACE(70)

  @ 22,1 SAY "Type: " GET VAR
  READ

RETURN
