[Coco] Nitros9 sintaxis (Was :Re: [coco] Shell Scripts)

[Bob Devries]

Answering my own email :(

Having said that (about .1 vs /1), maybe this is application dependant? It 
seems that the original startup script (on the OS9 system disk) uses the </1 
syntax in the setime command, but the TMODE command uses the .1 syntax.

I have seen other instances of each usage.
