It's name is dash, as I can only think of this as an appropriate name although there are other real applications called dash. With this I could do >dash copy *.* a: ; pause ; copy d:\temp\*.* a: ; etc, etc, etc, Just typing dash gives you a dash$ prompt and take multiple stacked commands until typing exit as you would do in any shell. I found it useful it needs a terminating ; and have my dosbox in dash$ mode. Then if anyone passes along and types a command without terminating ; it just does nothing. it is located at http://www.noam.nl/download/ada95/dash.zip and if needed http://www.noam.nl/download/ada95/dash.tar Enjoy, Noam.
