Comment(by Phil):

 As a long-time AIX admin, I really like the fact that 'ls<tab>' shows you
 every "ls-y" command on the system, as does 'ch<tab>' and other similar
 UNIX-y prefixes.

 My personal preference would be 'lsds', 'cptods', and 'cpfromds,' but I'm
 not married to any particular set of names.

 I'd like to add --verbose/-v and --pretend/-p options to the various
 scripts, as appropriate, but on the whole I think their use of parameters
 right now are fairly reasonable.  I went through the two 'copy' scripts
 and made their behaviours match as much as was reasonable; another pass
 could be done (by me or someone else) to make the three look as similar as
 possible.
