Todd,
	This is my fault.  I vastly re-wrote all the MSDOS spawning code
to add the execute-program command which executes a program without the
overhead of another copy of the command processor (I was using it in
combination with some word processing software that ended up with 5
nested programs and 4 extra copies of command.com). I do not own the MSC
compiler so I could not verify it under that. Patches to fix this have
been coming in and I hope to post such in the not too distant future.

However, if any MicroEMACS users out there want to make sure I can
support MSC properly and want to purchase me one... I won't turn it
down.

BTW:	MicroEMACS 3.9e and its docs are now available on
	j.cc.purdue.edu for anomynous ftp in the /usr/ftp/pub
	directory. [yea!   thanks rsk]

Progress report:

	I am coding MicroSCRIBE now. Looks like late spring early summer
for the BETA release.
