Summary: And some small corrections...


     A couple of small changes I'd like
to see are:

1.  The syntax of 'save' reversed, so
it'd be consistent with the rest of
OS-9.  I can't see a good reason to
do it 'backwards'.

2.  'dir e' doesn't give the date.  Why
it bothers with the time without the
date is surprising.  When I pipe it
to the printer for a record, I end up
having to date them by hand.

3.  On the Color Computer version 1.00.00
you could call in with any combination
of terminal settings (8 bit no parity,
7 bit even, 7 bit odd) and everything
was fine for login and entering commands.
Now with 1.01.00, I have to come in
with 8 bit.  This is frustrating.
One computer I use doesn't have 8 bit
no parity.  What happened to the
filtered input?

4.  /t2 on the Color Computer should
have automatic switching for 300/1200
and maybe 2400 baud rates (at least
optional).  I guess that's Tandy's
problem?

                     Cheers! -- Jim O.
