[Coco] NOS9 mb script

[Chester A Patterson]

This is my startup. Pretty simple. But from TERM_32 it freezes at the
wcreate. Judging from the HD noises (it makes PLENTY of noises that I've
learned to interpret and love), the three /w get created, but then the
freeze. This same startup has no problems at all from a TERM_80

Link shell
Setime <1
Date t
Load utilpak1
Montype r
Wcreate -z
/w1 -s=2 0 0 80 24 5 2 2
/w2 -s=2 0 0 80 24 6 2 2
/w3 -s=2 0 0 80 24 7 2 2

Shell i=/w1& 
Shell i=/w2& 
Shell i=/w3& 

I tried a different approach

Link shell, etc
Load wcreate
Wcreate /w1 -s=2 0 0 80 24 5 2 2
Wcreate /w2 -s=2 0 0 80 24 6 2 2
Wcreate /w3 -s=2 0 0 80 24 7 2 2
Unlink wcreate
Shell i=/w1&, etc

Same problem.

Have you tried modifying the scripts in the NitrOS-9 distribution rather
than using EZGen? Maybe the problem is with EZGen rather than scbbt and
T1.

Perhaps you should post the relevant lines from startup. I suggest that
you are not using the syntax wcreate -z which the OS-9 manual indicate
should be used if the command is in a startup file. Look at p. 6-99 in
the SO-9 user's manual.
