I tried EMAIL, but no luck, so here goes. I do have DOSEDIT.COM which is a nifty routine, but guess what else, I do not have the DOCS for it...what I do have is the source code. Yes! The original source code. If you like, EMAIL a request to me. **************************************************************************** * Thank You, texbell!letni!rwsys!trsvax!slimer * * Bill "I love it when you dBase me!" - ComputerWorld * * George W.

I had this kicking around. It is not author documentation but rather
written by a third party after the fact. Better than nothing...
- DOSEDIT.DOC - 4/12/84 -
DOSEDIT is a simple editor for DOS commands. It can be used with DOS 1.1 and
DOS 2.x. DOSEDIT uses a special set of the keys on the IBM PC keyboard to
allow you to edit the DOS command you are entering or one of the previous
commands that you have entered. It keeps a command stack of the last 256
characters of commands that you have entered and you can scroll back and forth
through this stack. It also allows you to edit the current command being
displayed. NOTE: 1 or 2 character commands are not saved.
UP arrow *Scrolls backward through the command stack.
DOWN arrow *Scrolls forward through the command stack.
ESC *Clears the command line.
LEFT arrow Moves the cursor left one position.
RIGHT arrow Moves the cursor right one position.
HOME *Moves the cursor to the beginning of the command line.
END *Moves the cursor to the end of the command line.
INS Toggles the insert function.
DEL Deletes the character under the cursor.
CTRL-left arrow *Moves the cursor left a word at a time.
CTRL-right arrow*Moves the cursor right a word at a time.
CTRL-HOME Erases from the beginning of the line to the cursor.
CTRL-END Erases from the cursor to the end of the line.
CTRL-PGUP *Erases the command stack.
CTRL-PGDN *Erases the displayed entry from the command stack.
BACKSPACE Remains unchanged.
CTRL-Z Puts in an End-of-File (1AH - replaces the F6 key).
The function keys F1-F6 no longer have assigned functions.
Tutorial:
After power on, or <Alt><Ctrl><Del>, from the DOS prompt, enter DOSEDIT (One
time). No message will be returned, only the DOS prompt. To experiment with
DOSEDIT, from the DOS prompt enter:
A> REM ONE
A> REM TWO
A> REM THREE
Now use the up arrow key to see the last command (ECHO THREE). Again use the
up arrow key to see the preceding command (ECHO TWO). Now press enter to
execute that command. Then press the down arrow key to see the following
command (ECHO THREE). Press either the up or down arrow key several times to
see how the commands wrap around. Use the Esc key to clear the command line.
Enter new commands and use the control keys defined above to become familiar
with all the functions.
This program was found on the San Jose IBM Employee PC Club Bulletin Board.
This documentation was written by Brad Kidder, San Jose. As a programmer, I
have found this program to be one of the most valuable programs that I have in
my library.
SVCS Libarian comment: DOSEDIT remains active for the responses to some
programs, DEBUG and LINK for two. If you use File Command load DOSEDIT
first. You won't have the square cursor but otherwise the two seem to be
compatable. Commands entered in File Command don't get entered into
DOSEDIT's stack, sort of a separate but equal relationship. The DOSEDIT+FC
combination is greater than the sum of the parts, like losing your virginity
on your first parachute jump.
**WARNING** The combination of DOSEDIT and KEY_FIX (SVCS #58) loaded in either
order caused Norton's DiskLook F9 function to crash. hs:
