Maybe this was something specific to the Kaypro distribution of CP/M? In my
experience with using it on the M100, I end up back in USER 0 after executing
any .COM program *except* for STAT.COM for some reason. Anything else I have
tried, whether it's 3rd party of part of CP/M (MBASIC.COM, PIP.COM, etc.) all
land me back in USER 0 after execution. Needless to say, this makes loading a
software package with multiple files a tedious process:
A>USER 4
A>IMPORT SIXCHR.NM EIGHTCHR.NAM
....
A>USER 4
A>IMPORT NEXTFI.LE NEXTFILE.TXT
...repeat times 40 files for WordStar 4.0 (including all the sample documents)
which is something I was just working on tonight.
