I dunno about the theory, but it seems I was taught long ago that
the first line in the Startup file should be

LINK SHELL

just to make sure it gets loaded first and *stays* loaded.
Otherwise it probably loads first, runs, exits, and gets swapped out,
maybe several times.

Good luck.  Every time I get the notion to improve something in my
own boot, something like this happens to someone and I just
take better care of my "gold plated" bootfile.
