	These particular modifications were made by Steve Drew.  It could
be a bug either with the shell, which is doubtful, or some change that was
made to the initial cli, which is in ROM.  All I can say is, for now,
get around the problem by running the shell in a newcli:

	newcli con:0/0/320/200/whatever scriptfile

	where scriptfile contains:

	shell .login	(or whatever)
	endcli

	then removing the original cli with an endcli.
