The usecount reflects the number of CURRENT uses of the command, not the
total number of usages since the command was made resident.  Try typing
'run residentcmd' and then type 'resident' while the first command is still
executing.  You should see that the usecount has bumped to 1.  Usecount is
really only used by the remove option of resident.  A command cannot be
removed from the resident list if its usecount != 0.  ie. it's in use.
