Utilities which couldn't move directories from one point to another in a
tree now can!  Example:  MOVE \DIR1\DIR2MOVE \DIR2 will move
\DIR1\DIR2MOVE to \DIR2.  If I try this in straight DOS, I get "Access
denied."  NETX and VLM shells don't permit this either.

I consider this a neat feature, but I imagine it could give someone else
a really big surprise!  Example:  "MOVE *.* .." will move all files AND
DIRECTORIES from the current directory to the next level up.
