Simply put, MIRROR is *not* a TSR.  When you run it, MIRROR copies the
FAT, etc., into a hidden file in the very last sector of your disk.
Then, if enabled (as you did with the /T switch) MIRROR installs another
TSR called the Delete Tracker that keeps a running file of any files
that have been deleted.  The MIRROR stuff you see in regular memory is
the Tracker.  So you can't load MIRROR high because it isn't TSR -- it
dies once the Tracker is installed.  And it would seem that to load the
Tracker high would require rewriting MIRROR, with liberal amounts of
smoke, to boot! :-)
