When evaluating a command entered at the CLI prompt, before
returning an "Unknown command xxx" message, DOS should attempt
to search the S: directory (path? :-)) and if the file is found,
and execute is present in the current path, the file should be
executed.  This would allow "roll-your-own" macros without having
to type "execute xxx".  Please don't suggest using a shell, that's
fine, but this is something that should be present in the OS, even
MS-DOS will do this with .BAT files :-)
