 In a couple of communications programs I use (Kermit and Miniterm)
 occasionally I will need to initalize a new floppy in order to do
 some file transfers.  However, it seems that both of these program
 mask off disk-insertion service routines.  I can see why you'd want
 to do this if someone were to insert a disk while data is being
 received, but it is irritating that I can't do it without exiting
 the program (I know, I should just initialize all of them at once..
 but I'm not that organzied!).

 Does anyone know of an fkey or da which can be used to force a 
 floppy disk mount (and initialization if necessary)?

 THANKS!
