I see that the shell 'touch' command doesn't create the specified file if
it doesn't already exist. Is this by design? My experience with the
'touch' command in other operating environments leads me to expect it to
create the file if it doesn't already exist.
Regards,
Jeff

I think that since the UEFI Shell Spec does not mention creating new files and no one has mentioned it before, we just didn't think of it. I don't see that it would violate the spec; I would welcome such a enhancement.
