       In  the	first form, _m_w_r_i_t_e copies the specified Unix file
       to the named MSDOS file.	The second form of  the  command
       copies multiple Unix files to the named MSDOS directory.

       _M_w_r_i_t_e will allow the following command line options:

       tt      Text file transfer.  _M_w_r_i_t_e will translate incoming
	      line feeds to carriage return/line feeds.

       nn      No warning.  _M_w_r_i_t_e will not  warn  the  user  when
	      overwriting an existing file.

       vv      Verbose mode.  Display the new filename if the Unix
	      filename requires conversion.

       mm      Preserve the file modification times.

       If the target file already exists, and the  _-_n  option  is
       not in effect, _m_w_r_i_t_e asks whether or not to overwrite the
       file.

       Reasonable care is taken to create a valid MSDOS filename.
       If  an  invalid	name is specified, _m_w_r_i_t_e will change the
       name (and display the new name  if  the	verbose	mode  is
       set).

       MSDOS subdirectory names are are supported with either the
       '/' or '\' separator.  The use of  the  '\'  separator  or
       wildcards  will require the names to be enclosed in quotes
       to protect them from the shell.

       The _m_c_d command may be used to establish	the  device  and
       the  current working directory (relative to MSDOS), other-
       wise the default is A:/.
