- It works !!! I just did so after reading the post, which suggested an
- env-storage. I moved all big stuff and stupid preferences to ENVARC:
- The same I did with 300 kilo of MUI prefs. I also moved
- toolmanager/newmode.prefs to there. I must say, I didn't use all of my
- progs since then, which store their prefs in env: but with all the things I
- named here, it works. Sad, that for ENV:Sys (the one with all the default
- icons) it does not work. This , btw, saved me a whole megabyte or RAM !!
