As the original poster in this thread, there is a question I'd

Is there another file besides /etc/fstab that I can use for the
mount commands?

No, but of course you don't need a listing in /etc/fstab unless
you want a filesystem automatically mounted when the system boots.

There is a real need in Linux/bash for the facilities of 4dos,
especially including the provision for attaching an arbitrary
'description' to any file.

Ideally, that would be included in the filesystem (as in AmigaDOS);
without that, it's a simple script to write.

In addition the 4dos provisions for switching directories and
command history are superior to bash.

In what way are they superior?

What other features would you like to see?
