It is REX#2.1.  I performed the following…

1. Removed the batteries and turned off the memory power.
2. Restarted the machine and then performed a call 63012
3.  REXMGR appears in the menu and then CTRL-X and removed the hooks.
4.  Opened BASIC, call 63012.
5.  Entered UR and selected View80.

On the initial try, I received a continuous tone that required the reset 
button.  On the second try, I selected View80 and noticed “Can’t” displayed 
below the menu.  On the 3rd try, I received a “Change HIMEM?”  and typed Y and 
then attempted to enter the edit portion of T-Word and it locked up. 

Through my testing, I have also had the Telcom prompt pop up below the UR menu 
when turning on View80.  Oddly, I have never seen the option to select the 
screen width that is mentioned in the UR documentation.

I have reloaded the UR bx file in case of an error when transferring. For what 
its worth, the machine has been very stable with no issues using UR except when 
attempting to active View80.

Any additional recommendations would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Patrick
