If you do a load 0 does it do the desired 1 -> 0 move? Doesn't make sense, but if this was in a shell script I was debugging I would be looking at an off by one type error. Maybe one part of the system uses 0 base and another uses 1 base. But I can't see it happening when using mtx directly. -- Jon H.
