[ John will likely get billions of responses, however ... :-) ]

Xenix-to-DOS file mgmt tools:

doscp	Copy a file from DOS volume to Xenix, or vice-versa.  Does all
	text line-end conversions.  The "-r" flag bypasses conversion
	for binary files.

dosls	Does a "DIR" of the DOS volume.

dosrm	Removes a file from a DOS volume.

dosmkdir	Makes a subdirectory on a DOS volume.
dosrmdir	Removes ...

Now, althgether, let us say: "RTFM".
