-=======Section 3 - PZTDOS Commands=======
-=====CD.3.MAN=====
-<code>CD(3)                   XROUTER REFERENCE MANUAL            16/10/2023
-</code> **COMMAND** <code>
-        CD -- Change Working Directory (PZTDOS)
-</code> **SYNOPSIS** <code>
-        CD <[drive:]<dir>
-</code> **DESCRIPTION** <code>
-        The CD command changes the "working directory" to the one
-        specified by <dir>.
-        If <dir> is an absolute pathname, beginning with \ or /, it
-        is used as specified, otherwise it is interpreted relative to
-        the current working directory.  The command recognises "."
-        and  "..", and both forward and reverse slashes may be freely
-        mixed.
-        On DOS (XR16) and Windows (XR32) versions only, if <dir> is
-        preceeded by a drive spec tPZTDOS will also change
-        the current drive (not applicable on Linux).
-</code> **EXAMPLES** <code>
-        CD ../FRED    CD C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM
-</code> **AVAILABILITY** <code>
-        This is a sysop-only command, available only within PZTDOS.
-</code> **SEE ALSO** <code>
-        DOS(1) -- Enter PZTDOS mode

-=====COPY.3.MAN=====
-<code>COPY(3)                XROUTER REFERENCE MANUAL                5/9/2023
-</code> **COMMAND** <code>
-        COPY -- Copy file(s) (PZTDOS).
-</code> **SYNOPSIS** <code>
-        COPY <source> [dest]
-</code> **DESCRIPTION** <code>
-        The COPY command copies the file(s) specified by the pathname
-        <source> into the file(s) or directory specified by [dest].
-        <source> may be 'CON', a directory, a single file, or multiple
-        files specified using wildcards, and may contain a drive and
-        path spec.  If <source> is a directory, all the files in that
-        directory will be copied.  If <source> contains wildcards, all
-        matching files will be copied.
-        If <source> is 'CON' any further keyboard input is written to
-        a new file specified by <dest>. The operation is terminated,
-        and the file written out, upon receipt of a line containing
-        only /EX or ctrl-Z. The operation can be aborted at any time
-        by entering a new line containing only ctrl-A. Nothing is
-        written to disk in this case.
-        [dest] may be a directory, a single file, or blank.  If [dest]
-        is a directory, the source file(s) are copied into it as
-        seperate files.  If [dest] is a single file, the source
-        file(s) are concatenated into it.  If [dest] is not specified,
-        the file is copied into the working directory and retains the
-        original filename.
-        Pathnames may use either forward (/) or back (\) slashes.
-        Pathnames that contain spaces must be enclosed in double
-        quotes, e.g. "my documents/daily report"
-</code> **EXAMPLES** <code>
-        COPY ..\MYPROG.EXE   /progs/TESTPROG.EXE
-        COPY "my documents/rfc793"  /reference
-        COPY *.HLP  HELP.DOC
-        COPY CON fred.txt
-</code> **PORTABILTY** <code>
-        Normal dos syntax is followed, except that concatenation using
-        the "+" operator is not supported.
-</code> **AVAILABILITY** <code>
-        This command is available only in PZTDOS mode, which is
-        restricted to sysops only.
-</code> **NOTE** <code>
-        Overwrites destination files without warning.

-=====EDIT.3.MAN=====
-<code>EDIT(3)                XROUTER REFERENCE MANUAL               6/9/2023
-</code> **COMMAND** <code>
-        EDIT -- Invoke Line Editor (PZTDOS).
-</code> **SYNOPSIS** <code>
-        E[DIT] [drive:][path/]<filename>
-</code> **AVAILABILITY** <code>
-        Sysop only. PZTDOS mode only.
-</code> **DESCRIPTION** <code>
-        The EDIT command invokes the text editor, allowing text
-        files to be created, viewed or edited.
-        This is a line-based text editor which is primarily of use
-        to remote sysops.
-        If the specified file doesn't exist, it will be created.
-        All editing is done in memory, and the original file is only
-        created or modified when the sysop issues a write command.
-</code> **OPTIONS** <code>
-        [drive:] is only meaningful for DOS and Windows versions.
-        For Linux, ignore all references to it.
-        Backslashes are used on DOS and Windows, forward slashes on
-        Linux, although they can be freely mixed.
-        If no drive or path are specified, the XRouter "working
-        directory" is assumed.
-        If the drive is not specified, the drive containing XRouter
-        is assumed.
-        If the path starts with a backslash (\), it is relative to
-        the root of the drive, otherwise it is relative to the
-        XRouter directory.
-        Pathnames containing spaces must be enclosed in "double
-        quotes".
-</code> **EXAMPLES** <code>
-        EDIT "C:\MyStuff/My Docs/Diary.txt"
-        EDIT XROUTER.CFG
-        EDIT help/chat.hlp
-</code> **OPERATION** <code>
-        In the following, n1, n2 and n3 refer to line numbers, which
-        must be greater than zero, and within the range of line
-        numbers used in the file.  The space between the command and
-        the first number may be omitted, and the numbers may be
-        separated by spaces, commas, colons, tabs etc.   Parameters
-        in square brackets [] are optional.  When copying, moving or
-        inserting lines, the "source" text is inserted at the
-        "destination" line, i.e. "in front of" the original text.
-        ? -- Displays a brief list of commands.
-        A <text> -- Append line <text> to the file.
-            The editor ignores exactly one space between the A and
-            the text to be inserted, so if you want to enter a line
-            with leading spaces, add one extra.
-        C n1 n2 [n3] -- Copy line(s).
-            If n3 is omitted, line n1 is copied into line n2,
-            otherwise the block n1 to n2 inclusive will be copied
-            into the position beginning at n3.
-            Note: n3 must not be within the block being copied.
-        D n1 [n2] -- Delete line(s).
-            If both n1 and n2 are specified, the block of lines
-            between and including n1 and n2 will be deleted.  If n2
-            is omitted, or is the same as n1, only n1 will be
-            deleted.
-        H n1 -- Hash (comment-out) a line using the '#' symbol.
-            This is useful for disabling configuration entries
-            without deleting them.  They can be easily re-activated
-            at a later date using the U)nhash command.  If the line
-            already begins with '#' another one is not prepended.
-        I n1 <text> -- Insert <text> into line n1.
-        L n1 [n2] -- List (display) line(s).
-            If n2 is specified, lines n1 to n2 inclusive will be
-            displayed, otherwise it will display 10 lines beginning
-            at n1.  If n1 is omitted, it will re-display the same
-            page, or if this is the first time the command has been
-            used, the first 10 lines of the text will be displayed.
-        M n1 n2 [n3] -- Move line(s).
-            If n3 is specified, the block of lines n1 to n2
-            inclusive will be moved to the position beginning at
-            n3, otherwise the single line n1 will be moved to the
-            n2 position.
-        N -- Next page.
-            Displays the next page (10 lines) of text.
-        P -- Previous page.
-            Displays the previous page (10 lines) of text.
-        Q -- Quit.
-            The text is abandoned and the original file is
-            left intact, providing you hadn't used the W command.
-        S -- Save the text.
-            Syntax and function identical to W)rite.
-        U n1 -- Unhash line n1.
-            Removes a '#' symbol from start of line, if one is
-            present (opposite of H)ash).
-        W [<file>] -- Write (save) file being edited to disk.
-            If <file> is specified, the work is written there
-            instead of the original name, but will not overwrite an
-            existing file.
-        W! <file> -- Write unconditionally.
-            Writes the text being edited to <file>, overwriting any
-            existing file of that name.
-        WQ -- Write & Quit.
-            Writes the modified text back to the original file and
-            quits editor. (Same as ZZ)
-        ZZ -- Same as WQ (see above)
-</code> **CAVEATS** <code>
-        The editor can access any part of any disk, so it must be
-        used with caution.
