Hi Jim, Well, once again I'm proven wrong. Sigh. I'm messing around with user numbers more and more because I'm *loving* the huge 4Mb disk drive (Thank you Philip Avery!). Most programs seem to leave you in the user area that you started in, but it seems VED40 does not -- it will dump you back into user area 0 when you exit. This is not consistent; not every program does this, but those programs that do, always do it. My long-winded point is that it's not CP/M system behavior to do this; the individual applications are doing it. And of course, to correct my statement that I've never seen CP/M dumping back to user 0 unexpectedly. :-) Cheers, Bert
