	In all the time that I have played AD&D, I have NEVER heard of a DM
who runs dispel magic in that way. If a dispel magic was a permanent
field, it would make the 3rd level spell more powerful that the 
(I think, I don't have books now) 6th level spell "Anti-Magic Field"
I see no reason for dispel magic to be permanent. I run it in the same
way you did. The spell dispells everything it is able to, and then goes
away. I think this is much more plausible!
