Sorry if this looks a bit strange.  My editor is real dumb.

I have just begun using UNIX.  Although I HATE learning the new commands,
&, nohup and at are very usefull.  For you non-unix types (suchas I used
to be), & runs a program in the background, nohup continues to run a
program after signoff and at runs a program at a predetermined time.

I DO NOT want windows or any other  windowing system.  Is there any way to
 get these commands (or something else with similar purpose) in msdos
short of either writing them myself or switching to 386bsd?  I have heard
of a unix like shell for the AppleII gs platform.  It seems like if in can
be done on a gs, It should be possible in msdos.  I guess nohup isn't too
important, since you really can't log off of a pc.

I would appreciate an address of who to write for a catalog, if you can
find it.
Thanks,
Andy
