In my opinion this would be a _great_ improvement :)
Many times I had ro reboot (in MS-DOS) because the critical instruction was executed ok and I didn't want to singlestep all the rest.


BUT, IMHO the key for that should not be <Esc> but something completely different, like some other function key.

yes, agree.
I had a small discussion with Tom a year ago or so. It turned out that Win9x's DOS (7.x0) interprets the keys in a different way compared to
older MSDOS.
Y = confirm
N = not confirm
ENTER=confirm
ESC = No (MSDOS7), YES (FreeDOS, older MSDOS).


so a "don't ask any other items unless explicitly mentioned in config.sys" option/key would have to use something other than ESC.
How about the space bar :) ? ..or even..F5
this causes only the commands explicitly using the sequence '?' followed by '=' to be asked: echo?=test (and ?echo=test , but not !echo?=test)
