It's to make people like us frustrated!  Give me a basic directory 
tree and the ability to edit config.sys and autoexec.bat and I'd 
be happy.

I've made quite a few changes to BW since I first started running 
it.  My system is now probably as convoluted as what WIN does!  At 
least in DOS I know what files and directories that I can not just 
safely delete but that I can even delete them.
