Hi Jeremy,
Perhaps a bit too late, but may I remind of Steffen's list? I think it's
a nice one. Note that I'm not saying that I consider the listed features
as most important, but I think there are some which are nice.
E.g.:
- Swapping without any supporting secondary programs (KSSF.COM and
VSPAWN.COM)
This seems to be implemented isn't it?
- Wildcards for REN (still missing?)

As bugzilla is still down (not that this is really there or should be) I
would like to open a discussion. I make no assertion that I will
implement any of these, but I'm curious and just may.
What features in command.com would people like to see implemented?
Please provide reference to full syntax and example usage.
For example if there is a particular 4DOS syntax you like and FreeCom
does not support it, then point me to the command and its documentation.
Or maybe you want an extension that NT's command has.
So far I know of CD ... syntax, which I believe is equivalent to CD
..\..; optionally where each additional . is one more .. down.
I would like it to support LFNs. Currently I know DIR does, and I know
CD needs it, probably also FOR. Any other commands? md/rd? How to
enable and disable supporting them? and how acceptable is 7BIT ASCII
only support, at least initially?
Well, there's one that was on my personal pool, but I'd be grateful if
you could implement it.
- Expand $P on PROMPT to the LFN version, if LFN is enabled.
As for the LFN extension to DIR implemented by Tom, it isn't a full LFN
support, but just a way to make it more readable.
