Is it possible that a file gets loaded, and every included >module is linked with the exception of the first? 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.
