I recently downloaded Matt Dillon's Shell V2.04 and have a couple
of questions.  The first is that if you type in a command that the
shell doesn't know, it checks df0:.  Unfortunately my C: and SYS:
and path are all for the harddrive, dh0:.  Why isn't the current
directory searched for commands?  Second, a friend was impressed
by the "unix-ness" of the shell, and tried to use a carrot ^ to
replay (with editing) the last history command.  To be exact, he
typed "dip", and then after the "command failed", he typed ^ip.
He wanted to type "^ip^ir" but accidently hit RETURN too early...
The shell prompt never came back.  About 30 seconds later, after
some frantic RETURN hitting, the system rebooted itself.  Oops.
Granted he had not read the manual, so perhaps that ^ command is
not implemented.  But still, a lockup?
   Otherwise, the Shell is pretty interesting.  PS: I am using
the executable version recently from the net, with V1.2G.
