There are one of two bugs I filed which has something to do with cmd (or cmd built-in's). One of them is an append-file issue - I think copy file1+file2 file3 does not do what it does in windows. (joining file1 and file2 and put into file3) - but instead, file2 is ignored, or something. Just thought if you are doing cmd things, you might take an interest. That's the sort of things which are do-able in less than a few months for a student.
