When I have two or more DOS boxes running in WINDOWS 3.0 at the same time and I UP-Arrow NDOSEDIT, Windows gets very upset and terminates my DOS Box(s). Is there a Dos Command Line Editor that is Windows 3.0 DOS Box compatible? THanks Glenn Boozer glenn@imagen.com

YEAP ! But may not exactly what you want. 4DOS which replaces the
entire COMMAND.COM shell works just fine. And the command recall
feature is there --- together with aliases and file name completion
stuff.

Both CED and PC Mag's CMDEDIT have the same "problem". The solution is to follow Microsoft's advice and not load such TSRs in the AUTOEXEC.BAT. Instead, create a batch file that loads the TSR and then runs COMMAND.COM. [I believe there is a parameter needed to make COMMAND.COM enter its interactive mode. /C? I'm not at my micro, so I can't check.] Next, make the DOS icon in the program manager run the batch file, and you're set. -- Neil Erdwien Kansas State University neil@ksuvm.ksu.edu

It is a COMMAND.COM replacement that eliminates the need for programs like DOSEDIT, CED, ANARKEY... And it is smaller and has more powerful commands than command.com as well (while being compatible). 4DOS works just fine in multiple WINDOWS 3.0 Windows (I am doing it just this minute). -- Tom Almy toma@sail.labs.tek.com <<< Note new address Standard Disclaimers Apply
