This is an interesting bug.  I was not aware of it.  Ben?  John?  Why does
it exist, and can it be fixed?  By the way, Ben, did you ever get time to
look into your new desktop release?

Yes, but I have no idea how to do that...

I am hoping to create some stuff like this using GDScript in the near(ish)
future.  I would be planning to create GDS tools for simple DOS actions.
