Subject: K95 differences with DOS product - security issue?

Talking to a POS system that runs in host mode I can do the following with
3.14 "rem cd c:\database" and it works.
Using K95 1.1.20, I get "-Unable to change directory"
Some directories can be gotten to using either package.
This occurs whether doing this over a modem or a null modem connection.
I have no problem believing that this is keyed to some sort of
privilege/security/access issue coded in by the POS writers but am curious
as to how the default 3.14 package gets by it but the 95 doesn't.
Thanks.
