Hello, I haven't done any exhaustive testing on the M100 CPM, but I started putting different programs into different user areas, and I found that stat.com keeps the user area you're in but pip.com throws you back to user 0.
Supercalc 2 also throws you back to user 0, as does wordstar 3.3 (the version on the cpm archive, which I have patched for the M100 cursor keys, and the behaviour I like for the bcksp/del key). The version of adventure (the colossal cave) on the m100 site also returned me to user 0, as does DDT.COM.

This is certainly possible, but I did not have much need to switch user areas on a 390KB floppy diskette or image, so I cannot say for certain. > 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.

But you can run other programs and the user area does not change.
