Message-ID: <73839@tut.cis.ohio-state.edu> Date: 10 Nov 89 19:35:39 GMT Sender: news@tut.cis.ohio-state.edu Reply-To: Organization: Ohio State University Computer and Information Science Lines: 20 Although the ST DEsktop has its mouse-based advantages, I'm really starting to miss the MSDOS/UNIX type abilities to just type CD somewhere or run a program anywhere by typing its name or path, or the advantages of simple batch files. I'm getting real tired of clicking my way through the 7 partitions of my 85 meg drive to get to the directory I want just to run a program. Anyone know of a command driven TOS interpreter ala MSDOS that's public domain. If not, I'm about to write one. Although utilities like Universal Item Selector are good, I haven't seen one as useful as QDOS is for the IBM. -mustafa -=- "Two days ago I saw a vehicle that'd haul that tanker.
