Robert,

DRIVE 0 is used in case a hard drive isn't found and reverts back to the 
floppy. All are drive 0. Not much room in EPROM to add these options in, 8 
bytes? Right Boisy?

The Autoexec.bas program we provide is a template. The end user can modify 
as desired. One program to fit all, not likely. ?????

Said this before... We need more people to step up to the plate and start 
writing programs. Platforms and devices are present.

The "Other Bob's" GUI might be what you are looking for. Sorry Bob, your 
app name slips me right now.......
