I thank those who suggested [unsuccessful] fixes to my problem, but they didn't work. I have now narrowed it down to, "I must be doing something very stupid; somebody please set me straight." I now have an assembly language program whose entire script is: abc segment common xyz proc assume cs:abc,ds:abc ; int 20H ; don't do anything, just halt ; xyz endp abc ends end If I run it under DEBUG, it terminates normally. If I run it from a .BIN file (even right after a boot), the system hangs. It DOES compile OK, into the single interrupt instruction. I've done this on three different PCDOS machines, each with its own system disk. Same result each time. Does anybody out there know what I'm forgetting? Thanks in advance. Dave Tutelman
