Great!  When I first ran the test under command.com I checked
the available environmental memory.  It was set to auto.  If
memory serves, I moved it down to 4K and tested again, with
failure.  Changed it back to auto.

Now tonight, I changed it to 4K and found I could set
environmental variables.  Changed it back to auto and it
still worked.  If I can get the same results tomorrow I shall
recant and abase myself.  I knew that challenging a major
was a good way to get shot down.


This is the reading from my machine.
