Yes, I do use Windows, and yes, now that you mention it, I do have
HIMEM.sys as the first entry in config.sys.  I try removing it
(when I get home).  

Which brings up the question, how do you set up Windows if your 
not using himem.sys (and one assumes, smartdrv.sys)?  Do you just
keep switching/rebooting between config.sys' for Windows and UltraScript
or what?

Thanks for the tip ( and hope it works),
