I understand all that you have said but you'se missed the point that
this problem only appearred recently with no changes to AUTO, CPX, ACCs
etc. other than a kernel change.

If this is just a duff TSR then why has it remained hidden for 10
years of Milan Mint usage ?

I think the Milan TOS doesn't need many of the hacks that that were
put in ST and TT Auto folders, many of the fixes were incorporated.


Never mind, I'll ignore it and hope it goes away. It only happens
about 1 a month at the moment.
