[Coco] OS-9 startup file question

[Stephen Pereira]

Thank you very much for your suggestion.

Sadly, that does not work for me, either.

First, I tried:

setime </1 >term >>term

and that did not work.

Then I tried:

setime </1 >/1 >>/1

and does not work, either.

Very mysterious, but that’s what is happening for me.

BTW, the shell announces itself as:

Shell+ v2.2a 13/01/03 22:07:08
