I have a similar quirk, running with ARP1.3 and WSHELL & a 2meg Microbotics Starboard. My normal prompt shows the current directory, and in RAM: it only displays ":>". It wouldn't bother me, but WSHELL's filename-completion won't work in the RAM: directory. Oddly enough, the INFO command displays this amazing info: Mounted disks: Unit Size Used Free Full Errs Status Name RAM: 4194M -231 0 100% 0 Read/Write -231 used indicates that I've deleted things from RAM:, it starts at 0. Note the lack of anything under Name and the size of RAM: I'm supposed to be getting out of 2 1/2 megs! If anybody would like to send me a 4194 meg file, I'll try to copy it to ram: & see what happens!! :-0 Dale -- Dale Gold dgold@basso.actrix.co.nz ========================================
