 Sorry Dennis, I didn't realize just how incompatible with 8086 pF
 it was.  I just got back from vacation so give me a few days to
 look it over.
 .
 Just for starters the 17 CELLS used through out is wrong. This 
 should be CURRENT  CONTEXT -  assuming that  context preceeds
 the threads and current follows.  The 17 is from 16 threads plus
 CONTEXT
 .
 What I think would be a better solution is a whole new version
 of -FIND that takes an address of a single dictionary
 thread and searches fig style.  This would save a lot of trouble.
 .
 The problem with SEAL is probably related to the 17 CELLS.  I don't
 off hand recall what is after CURRENT but I'm sure setting it to 0
 will cause a lot a problems.  SEAL scans down all the threads
 and creates a little mini dictionary for the object.
 .
 I'll try to post a new version shortly.
 .
 Gene
