My apologies!  I had assumed that TSE loaded DLLs in the standard fashion,
searching the the application directory, the current directory, the windows
system directory, the windows directory, and the current path (in that
order).  Looking at it more closely, TSE needs the DLL in the TSE directory
or the MAC directory.  I will fix the documentation to reflect this fact.
As for the icon changing, that was an oversight on my part.  I always start
TSE using the following alias:
	q           start e:\tse32\e32 %$
Each instance of TSE has its own window, so I never noticed the icon not
reverting to the original.  I will fix this for future releases.
Future additions will include command line options for the macro, allowing
different configurations for particular invocations.
Happy New Year!
CSL.
