I'm saying it's not done.  I'm hoping to pull it off, but I'm not all that
great a coder.  If you look over the code, and figure out what I've written
myself, as opposed to copying from fpbasic, copying from pdos-rdos, copying
from elsewhere in the program - it boils down to most of the "prent" (Print
Entry) function used by CAT.  (And you can see just how ugly it is.) 
Seriously...that's about all the code I've written myself for ehbasic.

I'm not a genius, certainly nowhere near the level of most of you here -
just a well-versed idiot with a large arsenal at my disposal.  I think it's
by sheer force of will I get *anywhere* with the code I develop.
