If you typed DiskErr DF0: it would check the disk in drive DF0. If you typed DiskErr DF1: it would check the disk in drive DF0: and if you typed DiskErr FjhdfDFryt: it would check the disk in drive DF0:.

I think I'll be needing them more and more. >Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! > >-- Dan Babcock ---- F.
