CHECK DISK FOR ERRORS

LOAD SIDEKICK PLUS/MEMORY RESIDENT
(I use this all the time to load Sidekick Plus from the Waiter. By
selecting the BATCH mode of operation to ensure that the Waiter is not
still loaded in memory I am able to load TSR's without any problems. I
also pause on return so I can see how much available memory Sidekick
reports that I have left.)
