This is not nice... and 8+3 is pretty limiting too...

I think what you want is rather feature of "virtual operating system" I
want to be used as low level layer for planned Arachne II.

It will allows things like

cd /http/yahoo.com
dir
type index.html

and more ;-)
But it will be neither DOS or Linux.... and it may takes ages to write it
