  Try the updated version, 4DOS v. 2.22 - it has file/directory name
completion. As for your complains about the lack of APPEND, isn't it
possible for you to deal with the problems using SETLOCAL and ENDLOCAL ?
  They make you able to totally re-configure your system parameters,
e.g. change your path to include whatever you need, in a local block
in a batch file (you probably know that allready).
  I picked up my new 4dos22.arc at wuarchive.wustl.edu (128.252.135.4).
