DOSKEY.COM
DOSKEY.COM is a TSR program that has been part of the MS-DOS operating system since version 5.0. It makes entering commands via the command line more convenient.
DOSKEY.COM
extends the command line interpreter COMMAND.COM
by the following functions.
- It remembers the most recently entered commands and enables you to call them up again with the arrow keys and to edit them in the command line.
- Macros that can be used to combine several commands into one command can be created.
- Numerous other keys can be used in the command line. So deletes Escthe entire contents of the command line; F8searches in the command history for the currently entered character string; and F7shows the complete stored command history.
The functions of the program DOSKEY.COM
have been built into the command line interpreter in the Windows NT operating system since version Windows 2000cmd.exe
, so that the program DOSKEY.COM
does not offer any additional functions in these operating systems.
