	The MS-DOS switchar can be set to act like Unix by
	putting the line
		SWITCHAR=-
	in your config.sys file.

	If you change your AUTOEXEC.BAT file alot, you probably
	know that this particular sequence of letters
	is amazingly hard to type.  You can change the name of
	batch file executed by using DEBUG on COMMAND.COM.
	It's easy:
	  /* I changed mine to EX.BAT */

	  1.) debug command.com
	  2.) s cs:100 2000 "AUTOEXEC"
	   /* debug will print two numbers separated by a colon - */
	    for example - 1723:08F3
	  3.) e cs:08F3 "EX      "  /* 08F3 should be replaced by your value */
	  4.) w
	  5.) q
