You see, while the ZCPR3 doc is a lot so far, the book (which is already 380+ pages in draft form) tells everything, including the hidden capabilities of ZCPR3. For instance, you may be familiar with the shell concept and the RCP concept, but what happens if you COMBINE them??? Wonderful, wonderful ... golly, gee whiz, Batman! I can't stand it ... more later.

I made a little 3 byte patch to my BIOS and low and behold, I boot into A15:. The shell idea sounds good too, for other things, but this does solve my problem at the moment. I'm looking forward to the books and the phase 2 stuff. I'd like to know how to go about writing a shell and using the shell stack and the message buffer. I actually started working on one for ZCPR2 a while back (in C) but with the shell stack, I'll postpone that 'till I know more about it. You I'm having fun with it! I think the aliases are the most usefull things of all (in conjunction with the FCP). I've got tons of things I'd like to do with it, but no time. It's made my work a lot easier too. Well, thanks again, as usual! Take it easy.... Isaac.
