To any of you who are thinking of adding filename completion,
this may be of some help:

The command prompt is stored deep in the system, in IBMBIOS.
The file is CMDPROMPT.A86.

Because it is pure assembler, I don't think I have the skill to fix it
myself.

I was originally intending to 'borrow' the routine from the freedos
command.com file.  That is in C and makes heavy use of the library
functions.

I don't believe there is any string handling code available in
ibmbios.  If there is, I'll try again sometime.
