To those of you that answered my plea: thanks! A summary of your ideas follows.

Several people mentioned using drives a: and b: so the GEM box to switch disks
would appear.  From the beginning, I was using a: for the source and b: for the
destination file but that box never appeared.

Thinking it maybe was something gulam was doing, I tried running it from the
desktop -- still no boxes.

On a hunch, I renamed the executable from .ttp to .prg and well-what-da-ya-know
it worked! ---- but only from the desktop, not inside gulam.  Try ls a:; ls b:
in gulam -- I don't get the box.  I tried b: in mupfel though and I did get the
box to switch disks.

Gulam must be suppressing this box.  How can I re-activate the box?

Others mentioned flushing the I/O buffers with Mediach() and making sure the ST
got the media change with Getbpb().  This didn't make a difference -- still no
alert box.

The adventure continues....
