 Please ignore my ignorance. But following this thread and not hearing
 any mention of 4DOS, makes my belly twist... 8^)
 
 How does anybody manage (or expects) to be productive in a CLI
 environment without it. Many of your troubles would vanish with the
 effective use of aliases and rich set of internal functions/variables.
 Imagine this pseudo-example:
 
 if shell_depth > 1 and parent-psp = make then
    load make-aliases for unix-messiness
 
 It's doable with 4dos and a lot cheaper than MKS. djgpp is after all
 a DOS package, and DOS is not a Unix program.
