 GC> Here's something, if not exactly a bug in Max, one should be aware of.
 GC> My callers are giving the access level of LIMITED on their first call.
 GC> Recently, while testing something unrelated to this, I downgraded a
 GC> a name to TRANSIENT in order to make some local log-ons. After entering
 GC> the password the line, "NOT A VALID FILE AREA," (or the one similar to
 GC> that) popped up. Here I was trapped. I couldn't get out of this, and no
 GC> matter what file area I selected, the same line kept popping up. After a
 GC> couple of warm boots, with the same results, I upgraded the name to
 GC> LIMITED and the problem went away.
 GC> So, it would appear, one cannot assign an access level below what one
 GC> gives to first time callers.
That is for users that you dont want on the system
and hope they get the message.
it os no bug.
