Good points, Jerry. I'm sure I had a good example in my mind when I wrote
that, but it is gone from me, now. :)

I do know that console commands are different, however, such as for
deleting and moving files. I was thinking of those cases, like if I have,
a CGI program that I want to let run on Windows (IIS) and Linux (Apache).
I would need a cross-platform file commands library... but that's easy
enough to make, I suspect.
