Yes, I do use Windows, and yes, now that you mention it, I do have HIMEM.sys as the first entry in config.sys. I try removing it (when I get home). Which brings up the question, how do you set up Windows if your not using himem.sys (and one assumes, smartdrv.sys)? Do you just keep switching/rebooting between config.sys' for Windows and UltraScript or what? Thanks for the tip ( and hope it works), -- Marc Ries ries@venice.sedd.trw.com (ARPA) somewhere!trwind!venice!ries (UUCP) #include
