#38 Shell needs to search for commands
Having to type ".com" on the end of everything is irritating and childish :-)
The shell should try what is typed first, perhaps checking for a text file and try running it, before adding .com and retrying. The disk cache should still be warm and within the 2 seconds to avoid re-loading from disk.
Include in this the possibility to search M: in order to cache certain commands in the ramdisk.
This was partly addressed by bug 83, but we could go further.
