"Pure bit not set" means that a command is being made resident that does not have it's pure bit set (the 'p' in '–p-rwed' shown by the list command). If a program is 'pure', it is safe to make resident; if not, it may have or cause problems when running from a resident state, but then, may not – no guarantees. When you make a non-pure command resident ( ie RESIDENT C:IconX PURE ), the Operating System returns the 'pure bit…' message as a reminder. To get rid of the message, insert a '>NIL:' immediately after RESIDENT ( ie RESIDENT >NIL: C:IconX ). hope this helps, Edjs Edward_Swatschek@mindlink.bc.ca – via Whap!
