In a couple of communications programs I use (Kermit and Miniterm) occasionally I will need to initalize a new floppy in order to do some file transfers. However, it seems that both of these program mask off disk-insertion service routines. I can see why you'd want to do this if someone were to insert a disk while data is being received, but it is irritating that I can't do it without exiting the program (I know, I should just initialize all of them at once.. but I'm not that organzied!). Does anyone know of an fkey or da which can be used to force a floppy disk mount (and initialization if necessary)?
