Again, as with UV, UD is emulation dependant on this. Basictype 'u' and 'm' use element (0,0) IIRC, while 'p' and 'r' put the data at the end, or simply truncate it - I can't remember. If for some reason you need to operate your account with BASICTYPE 'p', then you can always drop a 'BASICTYPE "u"' statement into the top of a program you want to behave sensibly.
