BTW, just a small tip:

For some reason, when 4DOS is the primary shell, the DJGPP compile of BRexx (but not the 16-bit BC compile) will execute touch.com (or touch.exe) instead of its internal "touch". The only easy workaround I know of (that worked in 16-bit BRexx too, IIRC) was to use 'touch.' [sic] instead.

Just FYI.
