PMJI and double-teaming you, but you're still not showing us the
code with HIDE:05 ... UNHIDE. Undoubtedly that's where you're going
astray -- and my working assumption here is user error, because
HIDE|UNHIDE are time- and torture-tested, and, in my experience,
have never EVER gone wrong.

As a control, why don't you DECODE, DeFine and RUNCODE the following
demo routine. It stuffs a lowercase "a" into 05, HIDES it, then
stuffs an uppercase "A" into 05, and finally UNHIDEs the initial
contents of 05, pausing to show what's in 05 at each step along the
way. It should report that S/G 05 contains lowercase "a" at the
beginning, and again at the end.

Works here. Should work there.
