Okay, so I feel dumb now - I just finished writing up a response to a message 
you sent on the weekend including a dive into what I did with user areas, and I 
hadn't caught up yet on today's messages so I didn't know this has already come 
up.  But yeah, in summary, there are user areas in 2.2 and no, they don't show 
in the prompt and you can't execute things from user areas other than the one 
you're currently logged to (which leads to the fun gymnastics of getting 
PIP.COM into each user area).  You might still be able to make use of the info 
in that message about fixing the terminal emulation in your copy of WordStar 
though.
