Sorry about that last post, one click too quick. I'll take a shot answering
that question... because many VM sysprogs really CARE about VMn and want it to
grow. The non-pervasive highly per

Hello Ann
Hello Ann,
I would suggest doing the VMSETUP first. Find the highest mode
available and use that as your 500 drive.
But (IIRC) I made 500 my A and made my 191 the next available
highest.
That way I kept all the files and things created during the service on
500.
