#111 More parameters support in internal commands

DOSBox already has an internal command "TYPE"
But it doesn't provide '/P' parameter to view a text file
with pauses.

This patch will add '/p' parameter to TYPE command.

TYPE [filename] /P

Before applying this patch, try 'addkey' patch first.

Ah..
This patch also adds VER and CHCP commands.
(internal)
VER just shows version number of DOSBox.
CHCP shows 'current active code page'

When you hit HELP command,
its messages will also be displayed with pauses, too.

For example, you may type "PAUSE Warning."
Then 'Warning' message will be displayed with a pause.
When you hit any key, you can go to follwing processes.

Fixed a bug when typed 'del '
('del ' should be 'del .' automatically)

Added missing some help messages for SUBST and
CHOICE.

Disables 'copy con' because 'con' can't be filename.

Added a command [UNMOUNT] so that beginners can
easily remove inactive drives. (the same way as 'mount -u')
For example, 'unmount c' removes drive C that you've
mounted.

CHOICE
1) 'CHOICE /c:abc'
will display choices with 'uppercase' :
"[ABC]?"

(Adding ',' into each choice is disabled.
experimental stuff;
but you can find remarks for it in the patch)

2) When you type 'choice /c:abc Choose one'
you can get the resut like this :
(displays both text and choices)
"Choose one[ABC]?"

3) /n and /s options works fine

TIME
TIME /T shows AM or PM.

Fixed a bug that 'TYPE /P' shows the contents in a file
wrong.

I will remove '/p' option in TYPE (because it's not
official, really) and create a new command MOVE instaed if
I have some time.
