Apologies for top posting, to provide context for anyone who missed the
original.
I implemented Martin's solution, and since I have Eureka, I included the
extra command.
It works fine so long as Eureka is in the mix of 26-bit applications run in
a session.
If Eureka hasn't bee loaded when the last 26-bit application quits, then
the command trying to kill the non-existent EurekaUtils generates an error.
It also terminates the process, so Aemulor is left running, and the count
of 26 bit applications is not decremented.
I solved the problem by including:
RMEnsure EurekaUtils RMLoad <Boot$Dir>.^.Apps.!Eureka.EurUtils
