disk access



Here is a disk access question. When I load exec 1.99q(latest BleedingEdge)
with a disk in place in a-drive, the disk shows up fine on the hot band. No
problems there. 
  If I eject it and load another, I receive contradictory results sometimes
and maybe it is the sequence of commands I use. Can disk loading be
clarified?
1) I eject the disk with an alt-left_shift-2 and with the menu EJECT.  Works
fine because EJECT is no longer active.

2) to read a new disk, do I 
   reverse the commands (alt-left_shift-2 and menu READ     or

   menu READ and then alt-left_shift-2.

I certainly would like a clarification of the disk eject/read process. 

I must say, I stopped using Exec at about version 1.99p and since then, the improvement
is just remarkable. (Most of my use has been for NIH-IMAGE with
some rather intensive math calculations on images.)

Wonderful, wonderful!
