Thanks to Jack Morrison for a nifty package, unfortunately, I have
encountered two glitches that make in not-quite-usable:

 -- every time I edit the aliases file I get "Bad alias file" and the
program gives up. I think this is because my editor (I tried edlin and
sidekick) is putting in ^Z's. (any suggestions?)

 -- I can "push to dos" and start up a new command.com quite
successfully but then I can't exit back to my original program. Is
there any workaround to get this to work? what's going wrong?
