More thoughts, Fred: Try moving the LOAD U2 line in INT up higher in the file,
before the HP PRN driver -- right next to DLG would be good. And move
AKSPELL.SPL down, make it the last of the LOAD commands. And actually, why are
you LOADing the PRN file?? You should set up a PP: stanza in SETTINGS.DFL, and
then load a particular printer driver with the SETP command. Much lower memory
consumption that way. Why don't you put the AOP default in DFL, instead of
issuing it here? Likewise the BI default. Simpler that way. Why say "BX func
ACQ2;*;"? Just put a plain func AC in INT (command "pfun AC").

If you can't get it work still, then do this:
Arrange the LOAD commands in INT in this order:
U2
KBD
DFL
DLG
MNU
HLP (do you really need this?)
PRN (replace with SETP command)
SPL

Then put an ≪EX≫ command right before KBD (force INT to stop running
immediately after LOADing U2). Quit and relaunch. Issue the "TEST-INSTALL
?2" command (do NOT use !). Work? If so, start moving that 
down, one line at a time, SAve INT, QUIT, relaunch, run TEST-INSTALL again.
Over and over until TEST-INSTALL doesn't work. When you get to that point,
you've found the culprit. SOMETHING in that INT file is messing you up, and I
don't think it's U2. In fact, it's impossible.

You might shell to DOs from XyWrite, and run "MEM /C" also. Maybe you'll see
something anomalous.
