I found a 4DOS bug, and reported it to J.P. Software when I registered.
Since I registered, I obviously am not too disturbed by it!  I love this
package, and can't think why any net user who uses an ibm pc wouldn't get it.

The very minor bug involves the internal LIST command: if you LIST multiple
files (say, list *.doc), then press F1 for help, when you leave the current
file it won't read the rest of the files in the queue.

Very minor, as I say.  There is also an undocmented switch for SETDOS that
unix users might like to know about: SETDOS /w.  This changes the switch
character.  (SETDOS /w- changes the switch character to -, just like unix.)

I would love to hear of any other undocmented features of 4DOS.

Thanks,
