When a CO file beeps on load, it's because the CLEAR statement is wrong. And if you typed the CLEAR statement and it gave no error, then you have sufficient room to run the utility. If it beeps anyway, maybe the program is running but just beeps. Who knows. Do me a favor, do the CLEAR statement, and LOADM"RF149.CO from the BASIC prompt, not from the main menu and tell us what you see. If it prints out the CO file's header, we can figure out if a) The clear statement is right b) The beep is coming as a BASIC load issue, or for some other reason. -- John.
