TURNING SERIAL PORT OFF

The new 1 MB units will always turn the serial port on when ANY program is executed from within the FILER (highlight and press (F4)). If you go to DOS, run SERCTL /O, to turn the serial port off. So it seems that I now can no longer run any program directly from within the FILER without first turning the serial port off. In other words, it is now necessary to execute all programs from within the FILER with batch files that begin with SERCTL /O!
