I find a number of irritating quirks of MS-DOS:

*   If I type "A:FOO" to run a program or batch file from the A: drive,
    and such a file doesn't exist on the A: drive, it will search the
    path for the file and execute whatever it finds, even if it doesn't
    exist on the drive I specified on the command line.

*   If I make a batch file, the output of the batch file cannot be
    redirected.

I'd like to know from those people who have used OS/2 if these same
quirks occur with the command processor in OS/2.
