Okay already, the bug obviously has nothing to do with my previous
comments about "graf_rubbox_".  That was just me learning to use a
new compiler in my oh-so-efficient manner. (I just had to link
everything up with VGEM... which was handled in a different manner
with MEGAMAX...)

Anyways, the bug is that Mark William's C has a neat new shell called
MSH.PRG, which is not be able to find it's PROFILE when run with
GEMSOFT present.  This even applies when I try MSH from a floppy,
with PROFILE sitting on the floppy with it.

As soon as I remove GEMSOFT, everything is functional.

Warren (a little slow at times...)

I also stumbled over this one.  The fix is to type '.  profile' in
response to the # prompt.  Look in the upper left hand corner of the
screen.  BTW, if you can send me a copy of the patch promised you by
MW, so much the better.
