I would most likely end up with something like this:

  CAT          CATalogue - output the contents of current directory
  RM           to Raster Memory - load contents of named file in framebuffer
  MV           Make Virtual - map the file into memory and output the address
  LS           Load System - attempt to reboot using the named file as the kernel
  CD           Create Directory - self-explanatory
  SH           System Halt - immediately stop all processing
...and so on.

I suggest:

    RM           Relocate me - you could also use the "-rf" flag to relative fuzzy matching, for instance `rm -rf tmp` to find any temp-like folder near your current location. Pretty standard stuff.
    CD           Clear data - `cd -L /temp` would "liquidate" the directory.
This would be a much simpler command interface.

To create a file, we should take inspiration from TOPS-10 and call the command `make` [0]. When issuing `make love`, it should ask for confirmation to the user: `not war?`.

Very good design. Implements only the essential tasks an operator would need with concise and well-known mnemonics. I’m sure this will be immediately intuitive to anyone, with no potential for mistakes whatsoever.

CAT was on the Amstrad CPC.
