I dedided to try ARP, and I was very impressed, by the ease of use, and the
space savings.  I copy my C directory to recoverable-ram disk, and like a lot
of other people who don't own hard disks, I am always trying to make my C
directory as small as possible.   However, there is one problem I am having;
When ever I load up a terminal program or some program that loads a library,
my ARP.library is always flushed from memory, and I have to re-insert my
Workbench disk before I can use an ARP command.  This really gets to be
annoying, and I have stopped using ARP and returned to using a reduced number
workbench 1.3 commands (boy do they take a lot of space!).

Is there a way I can set ARP.library in memory permanenly to avoid this?

I imagine there are a lot of users out there without hard drives or enormous
expansion memory, who have made themselves a useful CLI environment that
offers a maximum of commands in a minimum of space.  With all the various
shells and other such programs available, it is hard to evaluate them.  I
would like to hear from other Amiga users (with memory limitations) what
their favourite workbench setups and shells are.
