Dear,

Of course kixtart should be smart enough about "what to do with and without
the end-symbol '\'".
Possible
  • The description in the manual should be very clear, what the result will be.
    Currently the position of that end-symbol isn't always clear and doesn't return
    always the expected result.
    It should be very clear, because those kixtart commands work without direct feedback
    to the user. User doesn't see any progress during f.e. COPY operation and he doesn't
    get always a clear error status.
  • Ruud doesn't copy the bad things of DOS command equivalent. Copy all the files in
    a specific folder INTO a single file of the same name as your destination is a good
    result. Specially when the user doesn't check for "does the destination already exist
    and is it a file or directory" and when he forgets to create the wanted directory.
  • Possible that Ruud can introduce also the RENAME command, which is an already
    an existing DOS command. It has the same effects as a MOVE, but handles on the
    same drive.
    The MOVE kixtart command can move one file or directory to another drive with another name
    specified and it will work like the rename command when the operation takes place
    on the same drive.
greetings.
