The problem is that there's a limit to what one can ask to a FreeDOS tool:
if it breaks MS-DOS compatibility. If DATE/T is taken as an option by
MS-DOS COMMAND.COM, so should FreeCOM. You don't know how many batch
programs could stop working with that change.

1. Its history records empty lines (e.g. when one hits Enter) -
I think, there's no need for that. It should record a line only in
case, when after eliminating blank characters (CR, LF, space...) from
both ends, its length still remains 0.
2. Could it be made to use slash as separator in

2. Could it be made to use slash as separator in pathnames, just like
4DOS allows both slash and backslash? Every Linux/BSD user will
appreciate that.
whats supposed to happen on
C:DATE/T
/T is probably an option
DATE\T
probably some
My personal vote would be for bringing a little more order, I mean:
to suppress recognizing such input as option, if slash is directly
after some string of characters - in such case path recognition
should be assumed.
Problem with that is that I've seen programs that _require_ the options to
Some DOS *apps* cared and choked on it, so I wrote Korn shell alias
wrappers to reset the option
delimiter char to / before running them, and set it back to - when they
exited.
Like I said, this is why it won't work in the _general_ case. There are
