Thanks, I will go look for them in that way.

That happens on the AppleWIN emulator with IIe ROMs running.

: Anyone know what the NO BUFFERS means?  Is that an OS issue or a //c

There is a way to get it working actually, but, I will
need to look it up. BASIC.SYSTEM moves the memory save
marker down to make sure that it doesn't get zapped, but
you can move it back up yourself. I just forget how for
the moment. It's called HIMEM, IIRC.
