     Sheer self protection everyone: part of my startup-sequence
at work and at home (where ALL I have to worry about is my kids) is to
assign C: to RAM: and set my search path to include the (protected) C
directory on my hard disk.  I also have aliases for cd, makedir,
protect, and delete with the originals squirreled off so that scripts
and such which use these commands either get the bowdlerized versions
or don't work.  (I have to include cd, which is a pain, so that plain
"cd :C" or some such nasty doesn't get around the other safeguards.
But better safe than sorry.)  For obvious reasons, I'm not going to
include my workarounds in this newsgroup, but they have allowed me to
survive "Click here to Install" toys without having to read them.
