I've had SDX for a while, so I'm familiar with prtotected and hidden mode,
those were the first things I looked for.  What I neglected to mention is that
when I type ERASE ACEC.ARC (for example) it seems to read a little stuff off
the disk and then lock up. The RESET key can be safely hit - the file is not
flagged as deleted yet.

More importantly though, what is CLEANUP.COM, and where can I get a copy (since
I don't seem to have one)? I do have FTP access here, so if you could name a
site, or send me the UUencoded file I would really appreciate it.
