I've been using the AUX: device to hook a terminal up to my A1000, and have
run into a disheartening problem.  I use SKsh 1.5, as a shell replacement
and invoke it (as resident code) on each login from the remote terminal.  
This works great but each invocation seems to cost me about 4.5-5K of fast
ram on logging out and exiting SKsh.  On a 1 meg system this mounts up with 
several subsequent logins.  Is it pretty standard for SKsh to steal my 
memory like this?  Another related question concerning version 1.7, will this
version fix this problem?  (if it's a problem of course! :)
