I have had problems very similar to this one.  Often, when I've got a Mac
application up and I stuff in a Macintosh floppy, the commandshell just goes
*pop* and vanishes.

I had just learned to avoid doing this, and then the commandshell went *pop*
one day after I stuffed in a floppy, without having any other application
running.

I don't know what the problem is, but it is not that great an annoyance.
Instead of logging out and back in again, just run the commandshell program
from the Finder and your back in business.  At least it works for me.

Other than a few little quirks, I'm quite pleased with A/UX myself.  Good
stuff, Apple people.

Tom.
