the COMMAND.PRG that came with my developer's kit has several undocumented
commands.  There are others that I have forgotten, or don't understand.
Also, there are unix synonyms (LS CAT MV etc).  To see them all, look in
COMMAND.PRG.

  TYPE filename			-- display on screen as text
  COPY from-file to-file	-- copies one file
  RENAME from-file to-file	-- renames one file (to same folder only)
  DIR wild-name			-- list matching files
  DEL filename			-- deletes a single file
  MD directory-name		-- Creates a folder
  RD directory-name		-- deletes a folder
  CD directory-name		-- path to a folder
  CD ..				-- path to parent folder

*** NOTE *** 
  none of these are recognized by BATCH.PRG
