I have found another problem with 4dos 2.2a:  With a very few programs,
when I exit to DOS all of my available memory has gone away.  One program
this happens with is Hijaak from Inset Systems, but only when I load the
screen capture utility from their menu.  There isn't even enough memory to
load the program to remove the utility from memory...and it's only 286 bytes.
The other program I have experienced this with is a program written by a 
friend of mine (Function Plotter by Adrian Mariano).
