Recall that in the old days, DOS *COMMAND.COM* did not have command line recall and edito\ing. To get it, you installed a TSR that added it. There were a number of them. One of the most popular was Chris Dunford's CED. The following from the CED docs is relevant: "CED is active either at the DOS prompt, or when an application program requests buffered keyboard input from DOS (DOS function 0AH). There are a few such programs (DEBUG and EDLIN are two); but the main use of CED is at the DOS prompt." Do you use a TSR command line editor in your DOS sessions? If you do, DEBUG might already have a lot of what you like because the TSR command editor is active in it. FreeDOS includes JPSoftware's 4DOS COMMAND.COM replacement, but I tend to load a DOS TSR command editor high in a DOS session, so it's available if I shell out of the DOS app, which may not have memory left when shelled out to reload 4DOS., ______ Dennis _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
