Although I don't clearly remember which characters it was, the same thing would happen in BASIC on our high school Data General Nova 1200 with only two terminals attached. Since you could only save your programs on punch tape you were likely to loose a lot of code entry each time this happened. As you would image this happened far too often, but at least you always knew who to blame. At least I thought you did, maybe Joe was secretly networked in to our system (before anyone else even knew about networks!)
