I have an idea to create a patch to the BDOS file open function
which would allow searching a search list consisting of Disk,,User# elements.
The purpose of this patch would be to allow more than just .COM files
to live on a sys: type area, but also the MINCE swap file, FORTRAN compiler
error message file, BDS-C's various files etc. Would this be of use to
anybody else? Does anybody know of any pitfalls? Has this already been
done? 

I realize that this will require some code space in the CBIOS area to
have enough room to accomodate the changes. I pretty much have the
flowchart--what-have-you--developed but any info that someone would
like to pass along would be appreciated.  I believe that this would
not cause any trouble with ZCPRx but I am not sure.
