Dear Listers,

Thanks to all who responded, even Chuckie.

Upon further investigation I have found that the problem with the PEEK
command is associated with the user's terminal screen size. I was using
a terminal emulation screen size of 62 X 160. If I change the terminal
characteristics to 43 X 80, the problem does not occur. Both terminal
sessions were using the IBM provided PROFPEEK XEDIT from the 190 S-Disk.
The application of RSU 0901 was done last week and the system has been
re-IPL'ed since then and for sure CMS has been re-saved and IPL'ed. So,
I do not think this is in relation to the application of the RSU. My
apologies for casting any shadows / doubts on the RSU.

If I use my version of the PROFPEEK XEDIT from my 191 A-Disk, the
problem does not occur with either terminal screen size setting. 

<soapbox>

Is this yet another reason that IBM should not distribute such files as
compiled REXX, so the user could diagnose similar problems?  

</soapbox>

So, I will make the assumption that I have violated Chuckie's 38th rule
of computing and I sincerely apologize. The PROFPEEK XEDIT seems to be
W.A.D.

Thanks to all of you again.
