[Coco] cp/m emulator Disk

[Stephen H. Fischer]

Good news, that was what I guessed was the answer but the OS-9 manuals and ShellPlus documentation failed me. Thus my open letter so the original source might be looked at.

I do not trust the work of anyone who worked on ShellPlus for NitrOS-9. So many things are broken and I feared that what you need was. Great that is is not.

Part of a reply that is incomplete was the suggestion to load the program into memory. That I did normally many times but a full path may be required.

The Shell search order is:

> I remember the shell search order is local folder, Path folders and then /DD/CMDS

WRONG!

The shell search path becomes: memory, execution dir modules/scripts,
data dir scripts.

I assume you know how to change the color.

I wish I had a working VCC with the NitrOS-9 version you are using. But that is weeks away. Burned once shame on you, burned twice shame on me.

I just found words saying just the opposite! 

It's broken!!!
