| 	I think Herb is right,McCoy was giving Sulu some super heart
| 	restart juice and the Enterprise was jolted by some kind of
| 	space time warp from the planet.McCoy shot himself up
| 	went crazy and beamed down to the planet in a frenzy and 
| 	the other six followed to catch him.
| 
| 	As far as the seven beamed back up at the end of the show I
| 	don't remember but maybe one of the red shirts go it again!
| 							       :-)
| 
| 
| 	P.S. I'm new on the net so please be patient / I love mail so
| 	feel free to drop me a line.

Nope -- the red shirts, for a change, don't get zapped.  I suspect they
used *two* transporters; doesn't the Enterprise have 4 of them?  (Yes,
according to my Star Fleet Tech Manual.)  Two are on the port side, Deck
7, separated by a corridor; the other two are in mirror-image positions
on the starboard side.  Why not beam four to T.R.1 and the other three to
T.R.2?
