Without getting into all the details, philosophically I agree with this. The DM FW commands should mimic those same commands in the normal FW, but instead operate on directories.

Commands that are not exactly applicable to directories should either perform a similar function as they would on files, or not appear at all.

IOW, when in the DW, we have one set of DW commands, and when in either mode FW, we have one set (or subset) of FW commands.
