This sounds like a good idea. Another thing you could do if you
REALLY were looking for a few extra KBytes of RAM would be to make a
program that would copy almost all of the system vars ($8000 to
$8C00), except for the one's ZShell uses to the external data
storage. Then when you're done, you could copy the stuff back. It's
just an idea and probably not worth working on.
