DOSKEY

DOSKEY enhances command line editing, recalls DOS commands, and creates macros. The format of the DOSKEY command is:

    doskey [/reinstall] [/bufsize=size] [/macros] [/history]
        [/insert | /overstrike] [macroname=[text]]

where:

r(einstall)

installs a new copy of the DOSKEY program /b(ufsize)=size

size of buffer (in bytes) to store commands and macros /m(acros)

displays list of all macros /h(istory)

displays list of all commands stored in memory /i(nsert)|/o(verstrike)

selects insert or overtype mode

DOSKEY stacks and recalls commands from a LIFO buffer using the up and down cursor keys. The command line can be intuitively edited via left and right cursor keys, with insert and non-destructive backspace. DOSKEY provides similar command line editing to that of an OS/2 prompt with KEYS=ON specified.
