Although the ST DEsktop has its mouse-based advantages, I'm really starting
to miss the MSDOS/UNIX type abilities to just type CD somewhere or 
run a program anywhere by typing its name or path, or the advantages
of simple batch files.  I'm getting real tired of clicking my way through the
7 partitions of my 85 meg drive to get to the directory I want just to run
a program.
	Anyone know of a command driven TOS interpreter ala MSDOS that's
public domain.  If not, I'm about to write one.  Although utilities like
Universal Item Selector are good, I haven't seen one as useful as QDOS
is for the IBM.
