Some more 1.4 Suggestions, if it's not to late!!


1]  Symolic links ala BSD UNIX! These critters would be real useful with
    the number of hardrives increasing. I use both Intuition and the
	CLI alot and find I end up duplicating a lot of binaries. I put most
	programs that I run from the CLI(csh actually) in work:c and some
	in work:bin. However when I use intuition I like to see things
	organized differently. I suppose I could make my path look everywhere
	I have binary files, but it's bothersome to update and I presume
	would slow down program invokation.
	
2]  Also I was wondering if it would be possible to execute a
    CLI script automatically when one changes into new directory. Say if
	a directory contains a file called dir.setup, then if one cd'ed into
	that directory then the script would be run automatically. This would
	make it very easy to setup custom environments etc. This script 
	could also be run from intuition when a drawer is opened.
