Russ I don't know why you didnt mail me directly, (like usual). Anyway
since I happen to know that since you got your extra memory, you are
running VDK: software. First thing I would do is to try it with out 
that. I heard someone mention that with VDK: anything run under shell 2.05m
causes what looks like a newcli. This could be something VDK: is doing
or maybe problems with the old fexec (3.02a) code & VDK:.
If all else fails just wait for shell 2.06M that I'll be sending out
it a couple of days to .sources/binaries. Since the new fexec code under
manx 3.40a works so much better.

Re: shell run command:  As documented Russ :-) the run command simple
calls AmigaDos Run command after checking the shell $_path first and
allowing redirection.
