Hmn. It's been *many* moons since I used WS4 on a CP/M Kaypro. But I
*did* use it, and I recall numerous strange quirks. The code simply
did not seem to be mature in the manner of WS3.x. Though I did not
experience what you describe, the red flag above is that "the disk
"goes bad" every so often." This simply does not happen unless there
are problems.

Suggestion: start over with a fresh working disk and see what happens.
