Here's another command that Judd may wish to add to STARTUP.INT
("BC " is, again, a function; the command ends with a carriage
return):

BC cm d,p,w

This replaces the reverse-video "CM" on the CoMmand line with the
current drive, and the reverse-video "PRMPT" on the PRoMPT line with
the current path (the default directory), which together tell you at
a glance where a file will be saved upon commanding SA filename
without specifying a path.

(The third CM parameter, w, is for Window number. Without it, a
singularly unhelpful reverse-video "NM" appears to the left of the
fileNaMe.)
