I think you missed my point.  This programming does not "default" to this 
range of addresses, it simply crashes DIS to the DOS prompt without any 
message to explain either the error or the correction.  IMHO this was 
simply an attempt to restrict use of the program, and I restate that it 
was a reasonable feature to incorporate in view of the circumstances.

If Grahame supports your personal view that assistance was any part of the 
reason for this, then I'll still withhold agreement to the "sensible" part.
