Thanks for putting the manual online. I was not aware of DOG, but got curious already when you presented an earlier version update in this list some time ago.
I like how all the commands consist of only two letters. Might be a personal preference (of my particular brain :), but somehow this works really well as a mnemonic. Maybe you could also share examples of some lenghtier, more complex batch files (or, as you call them, DOGFILES :).
