When you do an errorlevel exit, Maximus exits - not swaps.  If you use an 
Xtern_dos then it swaps, first it will use XMS, then EMS and if neither of 
those work disk.  It only leaves a 2k or so footprint in conventional memory 
when you swap out using xtern_dos.  If you have enough disk space to swap 
Maximus or you have enough XMS/EMS then I would recomend that you use an 
xtern_dos just to try it out and see how you like it since it will solve your 
logging problems.
