1.  Allow multiple operations on the NET command line; that's a big program,
    and on floppy based or slow hard drive systems doing 4 or 5 NET operations
    eats up a lot of time just loading the darned thing into memory.

2.  Provide BSD group semantics on files, enabled by a switch to NET USE.

3.  chown and chgrp would be nice.

4.  Provide a statfs(2)-like function in the programmer's toolkit.

5.  How about NET USE /d/all  to unmount all PCNFS drives?

More to follow when I think of them.  :-)
