[Coco] Re: Shell + 2.2a

[Ray Watts]

You may not have the problem I described if you don't remember merging 
some commands with your Shell.  In the old days it was common to merge 
enough commands with the shell to almost reach the 1024X8-512 limit. 
 This allowed you to have these commands in memory without using up any 
additional DAT blocks.  Shell+ 2.2a is a larger file than Shell+2.1, so 
if you had a merged block and replaced 2.1 with 2.2a, you would go over 
that limit, which, I believe caused a problem like you described.  Hey, 
someone.  Correct this foggy old mind if I'm wrong.
