If you boot the supplied WordPerfect disk, it boots a CLI which it puts
a little message into saying "Don't end this CLI" or something similar.

That's because "loadwb" executes from a CLI that disappears usually, and
I think this causes problems when programs from Workbench try to CreateProc
(i.e., load the Spell program) because there's no CLI attached to the
WorkBench, or the program booted from WorkBench (i.e., WordPerfect).

So, leave the initial CLI open, or do what I do... at the end of my
startup-sequence, I start another small CLI, which in turn does the
"loadwb" so that the WorkBench still has an associated CLI.  (There's
a bug in there somewhere!)

end of startup-sequence...
	newcli con:10/10/200/100/Tiny-CLI from s:startup-newcli
	endcli > nil:

startup-newcli
	loadwb
