FB> Please report your findings (good or bad) here in this conference.
Shelling (or something) has changed from 6.6b to 6.6c.
I put in a new command in 6.6b:
{:sF3} {keys 1519} Ctrl-Y to clear prompt box of last word
{inpu wd,Check word?} input a word
{exec-nw1 WC %wd} {} runs a word-checking alias on the input
The 4DOS alias expands to "cd \Misc\Wordy^search ^cd -".
Nothing earth-shaking. Move to the directory, check if the word
is usable in Scrabble, return to the original dir. In 6.6b,
this worked fine, and I'd get a flash of "aiglet found!" or not,
as the case might be. Now in my set-up, when a shell starts, a
TSR critical error handler (4DOS24H2.COM) is installed. When
the shell's exited, it vanishes quietly. Or at least it did
under 6.6b. Under 6.6c, I get an accumulation of them.

It always installs a new copy the first time I use the macro in
a Commo session. It also installs (or, I suppose more properly
put, somehow interferes with the uninstallation of) the handler
on some, but not all, subsequent uses of the key.
