It's a bug that Ken initially fixed. Here is what happens without the fix.

With TS-DOS 4.0, you have a directory on your emulator with more than 48 files 
on it.
The first 16 files appear on the screen. 
Go to the next screen with a Shift+Down.
Second 16 files appear just file
Go to the next screen with a Shift+Down.
You don't get the proper screen of filenames. 

There is a counter that has to be reset and Ken found where to do it. He 
applied the patch to TS-DOS for the 100 and 200. I added it to the NEC version. 
The RAM versions also got fixed along the way. I think it's a fix of 7 bytes if 
I remember correctly.
