I prefer to keep it under control, using the following aliases
under 4dos/w98. All aliases are one liners, and may have been
wrapped here. 4dos (the 'shell') is a pay product. 'de' shows
stored file descriptions, set by 'describe f' commands.

c:\dnld\scratch>alias setsig
copy /q \netscape\users\cbf\sig%1%.txt
\netscape\users\cbf\signatur.txt ^ cat
\netscape\users\cbf\signatur.txt

c:\dnld\scratch>alias showsigs
de \netscape\users\cbf\sig*.txt

c:\dnld\scratch>alias de
dir /a: /z /h
