Thank you. If you were going to 512 *I* would have flamed you. I don't think
I have 512K of kickstart space in my 1000. Do I?

Will V1.2 LoadWB return an error code 20? If it doesn't a good many startup
sequences (like the ones on a number of games) will immediately do an EndCLI
and not only disappear your message but take the system into limbo.

This gives me an incentive to hack HackBench into something real (I don't
recall who posted HackBench, but thanks!).
