cheath, What is the Ashell secret? I can only get it to run with the Newcon-handler and not with ConHandler (ConMan)? Just changing the one line in the mountlist (for NewCon: ) decides whether I see anything at all or not. With NewCon-handler I get a fixed window (no conman F key functions). With ConHandler, the memory goes down slightly when I click on the icon but no window comes up. The section in the docs on how to install ASH really doesn't tell me enough. It says I've got to edit my startup sequence, take out or modify the Resident statement, and later it talks about splitting the staratup sequence with Ashell from s:shell-boot template. I've tried everything in the docs that I could find, but no way will Ashell run with ConMan. A few other people have said it is no problem… so what are the key files, where do they need to reside, from whence and how are they ref'd…HALLLP!!! wmc
