it seems that the location used to have echo off as
default is 1b2c.  this location has 01 in it, but if
this value is changed to 00, batch files will run
with echo off.

the 3.2 i have does not have ctl-u,ctl-w line editing
controls.  based on my limited experimentation, the
following seems to remove this limitation.  locations
1e98, 1e99, 1e9c and 1e9d in ibmdos.com have nop's
stored.  locations 1e98 and 1e99 should have jz 1ef8,
and 1e9c and 1e9d jz 1eef.  this can be achieved by
setting these locations to the following values:
		1e98	74
		1e99	5e
		1e9c	74
		1e9d	51

please post if there are any problems.
