- A couple of features *I'd* like to see:
-
- - adoption of *nix pattern-matching; it stands head, shoulders, and ankles
- above the original Amiga 'system' in power, simplicity, and flexibility.
-
- - spooling / print control. The original 'game-machine' concept is the
- only reason I can see for this being left out.
-
- Regarding assignment-handling, I have a file, S:Assigns, that holds all my
- assignments. I execute this from user-startup. It makes handling assigns
- simple and painless. Adoptiong a simple convention like this would keep
- new-pgm installs from continually modifying the startup files.
