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. -- Dan Green -- ARPA: hsgj%vax2.ccs.cornell.edu@cu-arpa.cs.cornell.edu UUCP: ihnp4!cornell!batcomputer!hsgj BITNET: hsgj@cornella
