It sounds like something is wrong with the "usr c..." directive.  You
might want to try removing the SAV directive and put a DSK directive
at the beginning of the code like this:

	typ	$xx		;$xx = hexadecimal filetype
	dsk	/CT3/FV/packages/comands/uucp

	[...]			;rest of code follows

I am working under the assumption that the DSK directive is still
valid under Merlin 16+ (I've used Merlin Pro).

The only other suggestion that I could off is if this code is
interspersed with other code and your USR directive is not the
problem, you might try something like the following:

EndOrg	equ	*
	org	EndOrg

	[...]			;put your code here

	sav	/CT3/FV/packages/comands/uucp

This should clear up the problems with any OBJ directives that were
previously used.  This is especially useful for programming drivers
that you going to be integrated with the main program.

I hope that this helps.
