At least one part of this problem should now be fixed:

This was a fun problem to debug!

Many thanks for doing all that Michael - it is getting a lot further on
real 486 but halting with what looks like invalid opcode (INT6) when it
calls most functions [at script execution part] e.g. 'echo' is ok but
'sleep' is not.

I have fiddled around with various debugging options and managed to get
a stackdump (screenshot attached);

Please let me know if there is anything constructive I can do to help
provide any further info?

Cheers

Rich
