Here's a couple of questions from a novice:

First, does anyone know what the real intent behind the S: directory is?  Was
it intended as a place for shell scripts, or as a place for software
configuration files?  It has been used for both.  (And the main resident,
startup-sequence, fits into *both* catagories.)

Second,  How does an inquisitive AmigaDOS process look at it's process control
structure?
