I finally experienced the reported bug of getting two cherry bombs when
trying to access drive A: after the ST sitting for hours with NITE blanking
the screen and SCACHE also active.  That was from micro-C-Shell.  Doing
a 'logout' (to the RAMdisk!) and accessing drive A: from the desktop cured
it completely: I could then run mCS again (from the RAMdisk!) and keep
accessing drive A.  I have done this _twice_ since last time I booted my ST,
with no ill effects.  Is it mCS's fault?  Explanation?

PS: I boot with AUTODISK, copying mCS and all into the RAMdisk.  I then
run mCS, and the login.sh file does "set home=D:\" and "set path=D:\".
When I 'logout', it returns to the desktop and the window it was invoked
from, i.e. the RAMdisk.  I find that very convenient.  I can always
remove mCS from the RAMdisk (even from inside mCS!) to gain space if needed.
