Yes, it's supposed to work that way.

The dosid() call is supposed to reset to the lowest common denominator.

I will have to double check (now I'm paranoid) to make sure that is the 
case. I really thought it was, and I am pretty sure when I sent the '2'
in the SID to the WinFbb system, it caused some sort of problem, even
when I went to the lower FBB level offered to me by that system.

I'll double check all of this. In the meantime, the 'mbox nob2f' is a
another way around this for now. It does fix the problem, as I've had
several users use it to get things working again.

Stay tuned :(
