Another thing you can do to save a little space (both disk and RAM), is to  
take smaller CMD modules that you use often, MERGE them (<=7.5K), and load  
them at boot time. Since every module load takes the 7.5K irregardless,  
you might as well make use of the space. I usually had some of the smaller  
ones mixed with the SHELL, and then LOADed a couple of others with  
utilities/programs that I used often (within the 7.5K limit, of course).
