Boy, Rob, I never would of thought of going that route. But it did, I
think, tell me something. There was nothing in the Advanced Analysis list
that remotely looked like it had anything to do with batteries (and I looked
in some pretty obscure items). So maybe there aren't any cache batteries in
the 250.
As far as the "old" part goes, I figured that. I still have to maintain my
previous employer's software and run functions for the auditors (even after
you close the doors, they're still there!) so I compare things whenever I
have a chance, and STRSST menus are different. I'm pretty sure I'll have to
live with the old (V5R1 and Model 250) for awhile (sigh).
