I'm glad this is cleared up.  It wasn't CP/M it was CP/M-86.  Yes I
would expect it to be doable with a well behaved program, or one
ill-behaved on the same hardware. Now all the people posting "you can't
do that" messages can join the shareware discussion.

I admit to sending the original poster a note saying just "B.S.", sorry
about that.  After all, saying CP/M when you mean CP/M-86 is as natural
as saying MS-DOS when you mean UNIX...
