	I have been making my way through vol 1 of Doug Comers' book
for the macintosh, and I was thinking of trying it out. Do I understand
from the book that, as it stands, xinu cannot be booted, move through
the file system, and run programs ? The text suggests that this is not
so when it talks of running application programs by loading them along
with xinu. Is this correct ? It would seem to be a severe limitation
even taking that xinu is presumably meant as an educational tool.
