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
