I don't know if this only applies to the IBM PC or not, but if you put

			SWITCHAR=-

in your CONFIG.SYS file you can use "/" instead of "\" for pathnames
and "-" instead of "/" for options.

Has anyone done any hacking to COMMAND.COM to rename some of the internal
commands?  I tried but so far have had only limited success.  Using
DEBUG on COMMAND.COM is not a pleasant chore.
