It's a DOS script that's executed each time a shell is opened. Use it to
set the stack, change the prompt or working directory, add aliases, set
environment variables,play a sound sample or anything else you can do
from a DOS script.

No. I don't know whether the Workbench format command calls the format
command (SnoopDOS would tell you) or whether it calls the system
routines directly. If the former, you would probably get away with
renaming pfsformat, but it might be better to wait for Tim to answer
this.
