I was more thinking of something like Venus, which does update the VAT and
in such way, getkey-workarounds like in CrASH aren't needed. Some other
conveniances are that this kind of shell is very small. But maybe because
of instant-assembly-execution difficulties on the Ti82 you should need a
graphical shell, but together they take up only about 1000 bytes (348 byte
program loader (Venus), 508 bytes shell (Venus Explorer), and some libs).
The program loader itself can be located inside the stack.
