MShell is mounted as /d1 and NitrOS-9 and /SD0

I then...

CHD /d1/cmds
dsave /sd0/cmds

It appears to copy to the right directory but the files do not actually 
appear there. What am I doing wrong?

That's why I asked if a custom boot disk be created with MShell to 
distribute as a self booting demo disk.

Right now, I'd be happy to have *anything* run.
