	To me, the question is not whether there is an advantage to PC-DOS,
but rather, "Is there any advantage to MS-DOS?"  The answer to me at least,
is NO (except for the editor).  I cannot imagine why anyone would voluntarily
beef up Microsoft coffers just to install essentially duplicate software onto
their thinkpad.  If you like the MS-DOS editor, copy that file and the QBasic
file and be done with it.  There is no reason in the world to dump PC-DOS
for the MS version--its just plain silly.
