	I recently outfitted myself with a 128K CoCo III,2 floppy drives,
     and OS9 level 2(version 02.00.01).I've been having some difficulty
     getting some extra memory space.I noticed that when the shell is
     linked at startup,19 extra command modules are also loaded into
     RAM.I wanted to get rid of some of these because I don't use them
     enough to justify the space.At this point, mfree showed 48K.
     I used the level 1 save command to save just the shell module,
     and put it in my cmds directory.Now everything boots alright and
     the shell works alright,but I ended up losing memory instead
     of gaining it.I only have 40K now.It seems like OS9 is still
     assigning the memory that old shell command(shell+19 modules)
     required.aaaarrrrrgggghhhhh!
	Is there an easier way to get rid of some of these modules?
     Where did the memory go?Help!
