[Coco] Problems with New Boot for VCC and Nitros9

[Manny]

HI all,

It's now working.  :)  I was having problems with duplicate modules (like
the Clock2 module that a couple of people pointed out.)

Next step?  Getting as much of my old environment back as I can.  Learning
the differences between Nitros9 and OS-9 commands.

Thanks for all of your help!
-A.
