	For the shell I wrote for the Amiga (and for other programs as
well), I have often used a set of string routines I wrote that always
returns a pointer to the END of the string, not the beginning.  This way
I rarely, if ever, have to call strcat.  I usually know what the beginning
of the string is (except for things like strcpy(malloc(SIZE),string)).
