I thank ya'll for your help, but I'm (almost) never liable to repeat my
crash, namely because I run from XTree, I rarely work from the command
line.  And that's even for functions I use before loading XTree, I've got
extensive batch menu's covering everything from my comm connection, to
text editing, to defrag, virus scan, editing the batch files themselves,
all from within the batch menu.  I think I spend about .2% of my time
actually at the command prompt.  Tho, just in case, I've begun writing
COREDUMP.ASM.
