	When you request a drive other than your default drive,
	you get the message: 
		"Insert diskette for drive B:
		 Strike any key when ready ..."

	Example: With drive C: (hard disk) and drive A: (floppy),
		 "dir b:" generates the above message.
	
	Does anyone know where this error condition is handled?
	It is NOT part of the "critical error handler," as I had
	expected.  I want to override the standard handler with
	my own.

	Thanks!
