Here we go then:

1. LS as an alias of FILES is not supported, is this intentional? I don't object since it was an anacronysm on the CMM2. I might even remove it from MMB4L since I'm intending to allow access to all the Linux console commands simply by prefixing them with a !

2. It's a damn nuisance when it comes to bug reporting that I can't copy from the MMB4W console.

3. OPTION DEFAULT PATH error handling would benefit from improvement:



4. OPTION LIST uses an exciting mixture of cases :



5. Are you going to provide compatibility with the CSUB structure being (mis)used to include binary blobs in MMBasic files? If not then is there an alternative other than DATA statements ... I seem to recall something about misusing fonts ?

6. MM.CMDLINE$ is not supported !!!

That's me out again .

Best wishes,

Tom
