According to the Glossary of Terms in the CP/M manuals I have,
it should be possible to set the $SYS attribute on .COM files
that are located in User 0, and then excute them from any other
user. (Note that this is only documented in the glossary, not
in the main body of the manual.) However, I find that this does
not work. Can someone confirm this for me? I have heard a rumor 
this feature was really only implemented in MP/M & CCP/M, and
possibly in CP/M V3.0. Clearly this is a desirable feature that
makes the User N concept extremely useful.
