Here's what I would like to see in Shell 2.08M:  I would like it to
respond correctly to 'volume xxx has a read/write error' requesters.
When I'm copying a file to a disk and encounter an error, I can hit
cancel all day, and do nothing but wear my drive out.  If I take the
disk out, I get 'you MUST replace volume xxx in drive n!!!'  Shell
should give up after one or two 'cancel's on the first requester, and
tell you it can't open the file, or something.

I crashed twice the other day because of this one.  
(ever notice that the longer you use your amiga, the more expensive
crashes become?  'cause you keep adding utilities, using multitasking
more, etc...)
