I agree with your reasoning, but the reasoning is pretty much irrelevant. The rules are made by MS COMMAND.COM, and are most likely (most of the times?) set, not toggle. now I wonder who will verify this, and why did the original author even implement toggling instead of setting. maybe even one of our assembler gurus looks at published sources of msdos 2.01 Tom ___ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
