I have tried a Resident command many times and even after a long session during which I've been using several different resident programs the UseCount always shows 0. There is no doubt that resident programs were used. Any suggestions, bug reports ? Roman Slizynski romans.midas.STS.TEK.COM

Try running a couple other CLI's with the same command and see the numbers change. Note that Resident is always listed as being run once. Marc Siskin

Try typing 'run residentcmd' and then type 'resident' while the first command is still executing. You should see that the usecount has bumped to 1. Usecount is really only used by the remove option of resident. A command cannot be removed from the resident list if its usecount != 0. ie. it's in use. Steve

I had the same misconception you did..... but the UseCnt isn't meant to tell you how many times a program has been run resident... it's how many times the program is currently being run. -----------Robert J.
