[Coco] Re: Re: Shell + 2.2a

[Charlie]

Please excuse my ignorance :) So, I'm loading too many thing into memory  
and Shell+2.2a being bigger is using too much ram along with everything  
else loaded ?

I don't know enough to understand what merging things with Shell+2.1 has  
to do with using Shell2.2a right out of the LZH file.

Is it something in my Startup file that does the merging when the system  
boots? I'll look at that when I get home.

I know I'm going to be a big pain with 10000 questions, however, it's  
almost as if I'm feeling "YAY, something doesn't work! Now I can figure  
out why and learn a bunch of things."

Thanks,

Charlie
