OK, I admit I was probaly wrong, I did some more research into how GEMBOOT
uses _shell_p: it seems that the only reason Konrad Hahn uses it, is so
that SETPATH can be used to change the path, the AES actually uses
$A0A6 to save the pointer to the enviroment string (have a look
at the code pointed to by exec_os ($4FE). One doesn't actually need _shell_p
to set the path at boot-time, so I suppose Konrad could make a version without
using this semi-documented location (maybe one day Atari will decide on
for what it actually is :-)).
