has to do with flawed programming & which command in DOS you're using
ex: for DIR first the FAT is read. if you <abort> of <fail> then it
will not attempt to re-read to FAT, but will continue with the
next step instead of crashing back to the prompt. the next step
would be read the root dir. this continues for quite a while.
apparently no one ever tried to <abort> or <fail> during beta testing.
