Has anyone out there done any serious hacking with Dos 2.0?? If so, I'd be
interested in talking to you.  In the meantime, here is all the stuff that
I've found to be useful:

	o  There is a DEV directory, but you can't cd into it.  Try:

		copy /dev/con /dev/prn

	   You can't dir it either.  Oh well.

	o  There are two more commands you can put in your command file
	   that aren't documented.  AVAILDEV and SWITCHAR.  I don't know
	   how to use AVAIlDEV, but if you say ``switchar=-'' in your
	   config.sys, then you will have path name separators changed to
	   / and switch chars changed to -.
