I can't rightly say whether I've >ever< used UCB Mail, but I would
strenuously object if "d11" stopped working.

Kludge solution: after all parsing, if it turns out NOT to be an internal
command (build-in or cmd), go back and reparse it with break-at-digit turned
off.  Or just keep a flag whether a break-at-digit was done during parse;
when it's determined to be an external command, shove together the first two
words if that flag is set.
