I know that there was a way to get the command.com hook to work in XP,
but with 7, at least on my system, there's no way to do a
control/enter and make it full screen again.

I also liked the 4DOS way of putting descriptions in the directory,
however not sure how 4DOS would handle the long file names.

All I know is Microsoft has really messed with the command line
interface in the "modern" windows.  I wish my machine could run XP...
I know I can do it in a virtual machine, but it would run so slow why
bother :-(
