Do a CATALOG to find the length of your APPLEWORKS.SYS file. BLOAD APPLEWORKS.SYS at $1000 and go to the monitor. Look for A2 02 1D (for example \A2 02 1D\<1000.4FFFP). I found it at around $24F4. Change the 1D to 1B and exit the monitor. BSAVE APPLEWORKS.SYS, TSYS, A$1000, L What the mod does is to change the toolbox call starting at $24F4 (or wherever) from a check for Total Memory to a check for Available Memory. Rubywand
