Highlight the program from your e-mail and hit CTRL-C to copy it.  Go into 
the MESS emulator, and at the CoCo prompt, click on the EDIT menu from the 
MESS GUI and click PASTE.  It will appear you are typing the program in 
very quickly.  In fact, my listing showed that line 40 was turned into line 
0, so I had to type that line in manually.  The demo looks like it would 
make a good screen saver for the CoCo.
