The 6502 looks very much like the Peripheral Processors on the CDC 6600. Not a CPU but a PPU for sure. But then anything better than the 4004 is called a CPU, perhaps starting with the 8008 which I have one.

But you have seen on your screen the same "File Append" bug that I discovered within days.

 All it takes is to print out the ShellPlus documentation and start at the top trying things.

Related terms such as PEBCAK (Problem Exists Between Chair And Keyboard), 

That is a new one for me.

Actually 1980 - 1990 when my OS-9 work at it's peak.

I used most of what the ShellPlus authors included, If others cannot because it is broken then are they to blame?
