I was going directly from CLI Don, and used AVAIL to check the memory before and after. Speaking of shells, I have just received about a dozen new Fish disks. On one of them is a beautiful little program called SiliCon, that is the first acceptable command history/sort of shell that I have seen. It opens a window into which you type your commands, and keeps a list of them. They may be retrieved by using the up/down cursor keys or by single clicking with the mouse. Once retrieved, they are activated with a CR. Alternatively, you may double click on any command to activate it. Commands may be deleted from the list easily, preventing the "clutter" that usually accompanies a history list. Commands retrieved may be edited, cursor right/left, mouse positioning, and shifted cursor right/left to go to the end/beginning of the line. <right Amiga> X will delete the command line, and a shifted CR will leave the command in the list and remove it from the command input line without executing it. Script files are handled automatically, without having to type EXECUTE, a very nice feature. One example is included, a quick reference page for SiliCon itself, and is interesting for the fact that you only need to type in the name of the file (quickref), and it "self types". I'll be uploading it as soon as I have finished reading messages. Regards, Larry.
