If I split my drive into three sections one for Dos, one for Freebsd, and 
one for linux will I be able to transfer text files between the partions?
Could I, for example, issue the following commands?
	mv myrealbigtextfile  Dosdisk\text\mybig.txt

Ok, I know I could issue the command, but would anything bad happen?

The purpose of these questions is to help me understand limitations, and 
restrictions in having multiple operating systems, so I can make 
intellegent choices about how I am going to configure my system.  Thankyou
