	I have the same problems in my Turbo C-Environment. At least I can
test the programs after leaving the environment, as Turbo C restores the
vectors. I temporary solved the problem by writing a tiny program which
copies the trap-vectors to the area of user-vectors, befor starting the
C-environment. I changed the RTX_INSTALL-function to set the trap-vectors
back to these vectors befor executing the trap. But I still hope for a
better solution.

Good luck.
