Hi there John Block, I believe it was you who said:

Needing a stack this large on an Amiga program is a sure sign of
something wrong.

A 16 colour hires screen will use a lot of Chip DMA, if it's
interlaced too then it will almost certainly intefere with serial
performance.

This will free up some RAM (HDEnv will free up even more) but it's
fast  RAM, not Chip.

Setting IBrowse to use it's own 8 colour screen is just as effective,
it's not the number of screens that affects the serial port, just the
display requirements of the frontmost one.
