  Quote  LS as an alias of FILES is not supported, is this intentional?


Yes. I don't currently intend to include the CMM2 "FILES" command as it seems unnecessary on an operating based system but I'm open to thoughts

  Quote  OPTION DEFAULT PATH error handling would benefit from improvement:

Done

  Quote  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 another option other than DATA files ... I seem to recall something about misusing fonts ?


Given no significant limitation on program memory I think using DATA/READ is the correct "Basic" approach so don't intend to include CSUB. You can't use a font because I'm not allowing peek/poke access other than to HEAP, VARIABLES and PROGRAM space. You can use LOAD DATA to load a data file direct into an array

  Quote  MM.CMDLINE$ is not supported !!!

I'll look at it

  Quote  Could you (temporarily?) provide a flag/option to duplicate all console *output* into the "DOS Window" so I can copy error messages out of there ?

I'll set all errors to duplicate on the console window permanently - no downside I can see
