   Inside command.com, there is a table of internal command names.
I think you can just go in with debug, find the command name you
wish to change (i.e., cd, chdir), and change it to something else
the same length or shorter.

   I've thought about this myself.  Shouldn't be hard to use the
environment space to hold an entry for home directory, and just
call dos to chdir to it when cd is typed with no arguments.  You'll
have to write pwd, too, though.
