I don't think that this is as easy as it seems.  If you don't want
your shell to waste tons of low memory, you will have to write it to
swap to disk or xms, which requires decent skill in assembler.
Currently I am slowly working on FreeCOM still, and I have implemented
built-in disk-swapping.  I think it would be a much easier task to
clean up existing FreeCOM code.
