Ok, here is an interesting point.  Who out there is using sys:c or sys:l
or any variation on that in their programming.  I'll tell you who is
Bill Hawes! that's who.  ConMan looks for the handler in sys:l.  I don't
think I can tell you what a pain that is.  It took me forever to figure
out that that was the reason my Startup-Sequence failed.  But on top of
that it made me realize that the idea of workbench keeping its files
(diskcopy and format) in sys:system and not system: is also quite annoying.

I guess that I have to post this to Bix or something, but tell me this,
why do I have to create a directory in ram called system when I want to
run diskcopy and format out of ram?  I want to just copy the files and
then assign System: to Ram:, or is that just me that feels this way?

Lecture over...
