With all deference to Ashton-Tate, I have never been able to
make the <drive> form of reset do anything. Here is a CMD file
which gives a BDOS EROR on B: R/O

* test of reset function
use b:dummy
list
use
reset b:
? 'change disk B and hit "return"'
wait
reset b:
create b:test
return

On the other hand, this CMD file performs as expected and so
far has never crashed a directory or even lost a bit of data.

* another test of reset function
use b:dummy
list
use
? 'change disk B and hit "return"'
wait
reset
create b:test
use b:test
list
return
