PyDOS:

OS environment variables _scrWidth and _scrHeight have been created and default to 80 and 23

TYPE[/P] command modified to display a single line at a time rather than reading in the entire file and then printing the entire file. The
/P command switch instructs the TYPE command to pause after each screen is displayed. The TYPE command uses the _scrWdith and
_scrHeight environment variables to determine the length of lines and number of lines to display on a screen.

DIR command modified to determine the number of columns in the /W (wide) display format, the spacing of the columns in the normal
display format and the number of lines to display before pausing when the /P (pause) command switch is used from the new
_scrWidth and _scrHeight environment variables

Quoted strings can now be passed to Python scripts run from the DOS prompt

Adventure:

Adventure had a bug fixed with the Enter/Leave command logic
