I'd take the "connecting the command files together" to mean somthing
like the FoxBind utility I use in FoxPro. I can't understand the big
benefit of lumping many small program (or.. .FXP) files together, it
never seems to speed up the program or save space. Still, people like
it for some reason.

I always thought there were small third-party compilers made for dBase
III+, but I never found any, and just gave up and moved to another
xbase DBMS all together.
