	I just started using ARP 1.3 last night.  While the new ARP Shell,
AShell, has loads of really *GREAT* features (especially pipe syntax and
environment variable support), I have put it aside because it crashes my
A1000 very often, sometimes even back to Kickstart.
	Have other people had this problem?

	Yes, I installed ARP 1.3 properly using ARPInstall.  I can start up
an AShell no problem, along with ConMan 1.3.  However, my problems look like
this:

(1)	I can't get DMouse to start up a new AShell when I press
	<L-AMIGA><ESC>.  Although I have the line:

			DMouse -C AShell

	in my startup-sequence, pressing <L-AMIGA><ESC> hits the disk and
	does NOTHING.  Pressing it several times caused one of my crashes
	back to Kickstart.

(2)	The machine crashed back to Kickstart when I tried to execute a
	simple script file that I have used for years.

(3)	Amy crashed when I started up and closed a bunch of AShell's.

	HARDWARE:  A1000 with 512K, 2meg StarboardII, Commodore 3.5"
external drive, 50meg C.Ltd. SCSI hard drive system, C.Ltd. Timesaver.
	SOFTWARE:  KS/WB 1.3, ConMan 1.3, DMouse 1.10, Rez.
