Ken Don't mind the tease at all, but rest assured there's no teasing on my part regarding system problems. I don't have the time, & I know it would be a bad joke to waste your guys' time on nonsense. Still, I do appreciate your challenges. I just spent a whole day trying to get my system to boot up without a disk. Turns out a reload of DOS 5.0 did the trick. Corrupted file or something. Anyway, I stripped out all the extraneous programs (EMM386, ALLY, LAUNCH, SELDWG, NEWDX, SHROOM) just to start from scratching. It really pops now, so I have a feeling there's either some sort of memory drain as these programs get loaded, or maybe a TSR conflict. A one-at-a-time will hopefully prove to be the taleteller. At the immediate, though, the only bummer is the (and) function in lisp. When I initially go in, it works perfect: (and 1 1) returns T. After about 10 min., it returns: error: null function. I reloaded up ACAD, so I don't see how a corrupted file could be the cause. Any ideas are warmly welcomed. Keep the zingers comin'. Appreciatively, Jeff

Jeff, Were you running NEWDX everytime you booted? If so, you don't need to. Its a "run once" application that modifies your ACAD.EXE file. Once its been run, you can forget about it. Good luck. Ken ///
