	YEP, I can't get it to work either... I've tried it on both color and

	Every so often I get an error message from 386MAX about an attempt
	to do a priviledged something or other... It then hangs my machine...
	Perhaps my ver. of 386MAX is not LIM 4.0 compatible... The only other
	time I got this was when I tried to write to expanded memory when
	386MAX was already using it... I have yet to delve thru the PCTOOLS
	manuals to see how to run the PCSHELL so it stays away from expanded
	memory... Nor have I had time to see if QEMM 5.0 causes the hanging
	problem to disappear... Anyone else have problems with your memory
	manager hanging up when using PCSHELL V6 ??
