OK, I just came across a strange problem. After lazily putting it off for
years, I finally patched Shell+ 2.1 to turn on wildcards. Worked fine, except
when I went to use a memory script that I have been using for many months. The
script reads like this:

 chd /r0
 prompt Directory?
 var.2
 prompt File (no extension)?
 var.0
 tmode .1 -echo
 prompt Keyword?
 var.1
 display d a
 tmode .1 echo
 crypt %2/%0.cr %1
 rename crypt.out %0

It works fine with wildcards OFF, but with wildcards ON the first and third
prompts do not display (the second one does). Otherwise it seems to work fine.
I turned wildcards back OFF again and, once more, the script works fine. What?
This does not make much sense.

In case it matters, I don't use the provided modpatch script to make change,
but simply toggle the value of 04DC in Shell between 26 and 27 hex. Any
suggestions?
