I know that this would not save a LOT of space. It could retain a FEW but I think it would be great. The amiga and unix, etc, keep the commands seperate so if you want 'ls' to do something else you just copy the file over with the program you want. It seems like a simiar setup would be handy for DOS too. Just a thought. -- Kevin Dorff kdorff@nmsu.edu
