	As you know, for the last couple of months I've been trying to get
BCPL programs to run properly from a manual startup.  Well, using a 
combination of Manx's fexec code and my own, I've been able to execute
any program, normal or BCPL, with two exceptions (both BCPL):

	(A) If I change the pr_COS file handle (output redirection), and
	then execute a DOS program such as INFO, only the first 200 bytes
	are redirected.  The rest comes in the window.

	(B) Even if I don't change the input pr_CIS, BCPL programs refuse
	to use it

	
NOW LOOK C-A, You've helped us with most of the problems we've been having,
but have consistantly refused to discuss BCPL startup requirements.  Could
you *PLEASE* help me out?  All I want (and which is not discussed in any
manual) is a description of what must be set up to get a BCPL program to
go.  I'm positive I've got all the registers correct, but there are things
in the CLI and PROCESS structure, and things in the file-handles, that
must be set in a certain way for which I have not a clue.
