So, if I do a list, and the next time I do a list and it loads it from ram, if I put in a different disk and try to list it, the Amiga demands the Workbench disk. I think they should at least keep the buffer full until the next disk access. I have a menu element with (A)N assigned to it, and it works fine, and I can't imagine what your problem may be.
