[reply: use spaces: DEBUG <SOURCE.DBG >SOURCE.LST]

There is also the possibility that a keyboard driver messes up redirections
(what seems to happen is that for some reason the CR/LF pairs get both pushed
into DEBUG, and DEBUG doesn't recognize them as commands -- and the MS-DOS
stdin read routines are so stupid that they just sit there, in spite of stdin
running out).
I know that DOSEDIT, CED and UNCLE do this.  I'm not sure about ANARKEY.
