And by that I mean the startup of the disks I got from rsx11m.com. Startup ends at “>@ <EOF>”, seen below. So I assumed it was up and ready for you to logon. But when I tried as you can see it replied “LOG — Other User Logged On”. After awhile I realized I was already logged on because it responded to my “DIR” command. I could if I wish type “Bye” and logon somewhere else.
Here are a few of the ending startup messages…
>; PRINT PLOT:=MAP.HPG >; >; INSTALL TCP/IP >; >SET /NAMED >SET /UIC=[1,2] >* Load TCP/IP? [Y/N D:Y T:15S]: N >@ <EOF> >LOG LOG -- Other User Logged On >DIR Directory DU0:[200200] 18-SEP-2021 12:33
After startup…Where am I?
After I first startup it seems to imply that I’m in [1,2]. Also what is DU0:[200200]…NOT[200,200] But if I logout and log in to SYSTEM it says I’m in [1,1]…DU0:[1,1]

I typed SAVE and apparently it saved it as PROGRAM.BAS. But in my limited playing I couldn’t figure out how to load it back in to work on it more.
I typed HELP BASIC, and found I could type BP2…which is different than BASIC. This is more like what I am used to. This program was invalid under BASIC
