The only way might be to leave the DA in the system >heap, although I have not seen any DA's which accomplish this. Unfortunately the parent article never arrived here, so I don't know what "this idea" is... but I have put the .Journal DA on the system heap (to make it work across applications launches), and it works just fine. Space on the system heap tends to be very limited, though. (Isn't there a boot-sector parameter to change it, though? I'm not sure.) -- Shyy-Anzr: J.
