Urgh... I doubt I'd take anything less than 100Mb.

I "cat" files.  I "ls" directories. :-)

The +3 manages perfectly OK (except for the bug which leaves the "T:" in the
filename if you save "t:foo").

Hang on...  p<number> is the name of a variable.  That's a rather strange
syntax.  Come to think of it, how will you tell the difference between

  LOAD d1 a$   (where a$ contains a file name)

and

  LOAD d1a$    (where d1a$ contains a file name)

given that spaces are allowed in variable names?
