I agree. ZShell is a perfect size right now. Logically, an upgrade should
have more features, but not 5K more. The only thing that would be useful
would be a contrast changer in Zsehll(+/-). So you don't have to exit or go
to some contrast changer thing. That would just take two small routines.
Remember that Zshell is just a shell to run asm programs in strings that
TI-OS can't. It's doing it's job perfrectly already.
