Thanks Terry - glad you got things working (mostly).

This sounds like it should be an easy bug for me to fix.  I'll look at it
this weekend.

Also - for those of you fighting with having enough memory available, I have
put a "protected mode" version of TR up on the website.  Feel free to give it
a try and see how it works for you.  Would be interested in any comments.  
Perhaps this should be the way that TR is distributed from now on.
