OK, I'm looking for ideas: I just finished seriously hacking Z80CCP
from the SIMTEL20 archives to do what _I_ think a CCP should do. Given
that it has:

	Automatic Submit operation: if a program is not found either where
		said, or on A0: it throws it at SUBMIT.COM;
	Paging TYPE;
	LIST (TYPE to LST: w/o pages);
	ERA tells you what it's going to erase, and asks about all
		wildcards, not just *.*;
	Civilised USER number handling: I can say B3:PROGRAM, and it
		does the sensible thing, also B3: does the same as
		B: / USER 3;

_AND_:

	about 256 bytes of space left over;

we come to $64,000 question. What do I put in the 256 bytes left?

Basically I'm looking for some small, neat, _USEFUL_ idea to use that
last bit of space. (If this was for the Voyager probe, I'd try to tuck
a pattern matching algorithm in, but I doubt this will ever make outer
space :-) ). It is worth noting that the USER command has been ditched
(it's now redundant), as was the CLS, which I did not consider useful.

Suggestions by E-mail to the address below, or post if you think everyone
wants some neat ideas. If I get enough response, I'll summarise.
