   It's actually less complicated than you might imagine having come from the   
   more "arcane" notation used by CBM.   
      
   Dir for a directory listing   
      
   dir :0 or dir :1 for a directorl listing of drive 0 or drive 1.   
      
   runnable binary programs are name progname/cmd   
      
   Just type progname to to run it or progname:1 if it's drive 1   
      
   It more MSDOS-like (or CP/M-like) than CBM (in the PET/Vic/C64/C128 era)   
   ever was. :-)
