Yes. Even when I don't run any startup.int and limit the preceding commands to:
load xy4.mnu
load xy4.hlp
--which I assume is the minimum for using va/nv \15.

Exactly. Now here's an interesting thing: I don't get the STACKeroo when I
put the va into a file:
va \15
And--more interesting--all and only the messages that give the STACK's are
those that end with an ampersand, as with \15
"Help frame too large &"
or with msgs: 16,26,121,127,132,146,147,164,165,214,215 (stopped looking at
msg 255).

And I can't even find which file stores the text for the messages. A "se
*.*/help frame too/" in my xy4 directory turned up nothing in ascii.

'Tis a puzzlement.
