I'm just running a picture viewer.  The smallest VEF viewers I can find 
are viewvef and vefio (with winfo).  Both are a little under 5K.  I 
wouldn't gain anything by merging the viewer with the shell, because 
both together would still top 8K and still take two 8K blocks.  With my 
current boot, I have 24K when I run mfree, which is using 8K, since it 
isn't merged with the shell either -- I would ordinarily do that, but 
this is a special-purpose thing.  So that means that I really have 32K 
free when the system boots.  These graphics screens are 32K.  All I need 
is to find a way to free up one more 8K block -- unless I can find a way 
to display the picture on the terminal's window so I don't have to 
allocate more memory for the graphics display...
