To my surprise, that seems to be true. (I thought it loaded the whole
EXE.) I wrote a 1.2MB EXE to a thumb drive, unplugged the drive,
rebooted (to clear out any cache, etc), plugged in the drive, and
executed the program from it. Then I unplugged the drive after the
main screen came up. Then many of the items on the menu would not
execute, they would say "error reading ... external error C0000006".
It would be reading things like an EditMask, etc.
Rebooting wasn't necessary - I tried it a few times just unplugging
the thumb drive, and then not unplugging the drive. Results were
consistent with it reading parts of the EXE as needed.
