How much memory do you have?

For your mgr startup, try something like
	setenv MGRFONT c:/mgr/icon

For Gulam, you can start up VT52.PRG yourself. I use "half" to create a
new window running the vt52 program, e.g.
	half vt52

I don't use Gulam in mgr. I suppose it would be good to recompile Gulam to
use termcap and the MiNT calls, but I thought Jwahar Bammi was doing that.
I recompiled the microemacs that comes with Mark Williams C, using termcap,
and I just use that now.
