Yep!  (a subliminal typo!)  

 BC> If so, you should be able to acces the same tagline file in both the 
 BC> DOS & 386 version of BW 2.30

But, I can't.  It works ok with 2.12 but not in 2.30 except in 386.

I haven't set up a ramdrive in this configuration...  

Got a quick refresher course?  I've used one, but it has 
been quite a while.  

 BC> Under: 
 BC> Global
 BC> Memory Swapping Options
 BC> Allow swapping to XMS memory        No
 BC> Allow swapping to EMS memory        No

I have both of those set to "Yes"  

 BC> I use a LARGE "Msg Editor" program, that's why I swap the

 BC> A Ramdrive makes for a fast swap. 

It's worth a try for me!
