I apologize that I did not explain the full case Tom.  I wanted the posting
to be a short note to people here of what I had found.  Here are the facts:

1. Nowhere did I critizie Perry, ASDG, or the CygnusED program.  To the
   contrary, I think it is a great program, and one of the best I have ever
   purchased for my Amiga.  Perhaps I should call it a "feature" that
   conflicted with another "feature" caused by the DiskSalv and DiskMaster
   programs.

2. The problem has nothing to do with defective magnetic media.  I can
   duplicate it in RAM: or RAD: using DiskSalv and/or DiskMaster.  These
   two programs are in fairly common use, and I thought I should mention it
   in case anyone ever encountered the problem.  It took me quite a quile to
   figure out what was wrong, when it happened to me, and I thought maybe I
   could save someone else using these programs a headache.

3. I have since tried the file requesters of several programs to see if
   they work under this condition.  Most still work, but some hang the program,
   like CygnusEd.  Personally, I am quite interested in why some of these
   programs work, while others crash.  What are they doing different?

I did not find your sarcasm funny.  Could you please be more helpful?
