sorry for the quick follow-up. I don't know if ffmpeg (or mencoder) can
deal with the specific format you want.

does your setup have some kind of 'alias' file for some of these? only
some of these commands seem native to bash. for instance 'copy', 'cls',
'del', 'ren' and a couple more do nothing in Debian 5.x or OpenSUSE 10.0,
using bash.

It is an Asus version of Xandros that came in my Eee PC 2G Surf
netbook.

For the heck of it (too much time on my hands) I compared:

MSDOS at
http://www.computerhope.com/msdos.htm#02

to

Bash at
http://ss64.com/bash/

And found an even longer list of common commands so apparently my
little box isn't that unusual...:

break
cd
date
dir
echo
enable
exit
expand
fdisk
find
for
format
ftp
help
hostname
if
mkdir
more
netstst
nslookup
ping
popd
pushd
rename
rmdir
set
shift
shutdown
sort
time
type

*** No tears shed, but floating pages should serve the purpose for most
