Now, any disk, any user can type 'WS' and expect to get WordStar (running the ZCPR2 patches also.) The 'r' command of WordStar doesn't work as you stated unless the target program is also marked public. Note that the WS internal search for overlay must have the proper drive where the overlays are located (label DEFDSK) I used to use the DUPUSR kludge but got burned by it from (my) carelessness. pubpatch is more 'elegant'. (All of this on a NorthStar Horizon w/352k running TSS/C, a multi-user CP/M system using one Z80 and bankswitching. [yes, it *is* slow at times!]) -bob
