What would you change on NitrOS-9 for the next versions ?

I have one suggestion: make the executable path (CHX) multiple and
relative like:

chx ./;./cmds;/dd/cmds/

For example using the path this would make the os-9 search for modules
first on you current dir, then into a CMDS folder on the same level as
you are and then finally in the default /dd/cmds

Why ? because every time you use a second disk you have to type:

chx /d1/cmds

and this is very annoying. Then you need to check the DIR if you don't
have it in your /d1/cmds folder you will need to make

chx /dd/cmds

or call:

/dd/cmds/dir

What do you think about this suggestion ? Especially using large CF or
HDDs with apps installed in multiple folders changing CHX everytime is
a pain. Copying everything to your /dd/cmds is a mess and could cause
file conflicts.
