Andy,
Thank you for responding.  I am still experiencing this hanging after a
countless, unknown number of either disk accesses or directory listings or the
such.  Actually last night I had just typed "arc l {filename}" and it hung -
that is the cursor remained but the ">" prompt did not return.  After a warm
boot everything has been fine - however I know that something is counting up
to a large number somewhere and when it reaches that "point" it will hang
again.  Warm booting spoils/resets the count.
I am of course disappointed I suppose that there is no explanation BUT I do
accept too that this could be a local situation mi amiga is suffering from.
Just in case equipment helps anyone confirm or deny any of this:

I have an Amiga A1000 with the following mods and/or additions:
USRobotics Courier 2400 baud modem
2 Meg Micron RAM expansion
20 Meg Supra 3.5" hard drive
KwikStart 1.2 ROM board
Halfbrite chip upgrade
PAL chip modification (that's another story)
I multitask all the time with Bilbo's Hideaway running in background - unless I
am calling out to other boards.

I was speaking to someone recently about this "hanging" after so many
whatevers and he mentioned someone who had documented the experience also.  I
will call this person back Monday in my pursuit.  In the mean time there isn't
much to do.
