Is there an DOS command editor like alias or dosedit that works with DESQview? DESQview appears to take back the keyboard interrupt no matter how I install these programs.

The one you installed before running DV is termporarily inactivated. Special note: Anarkey seems to require a bit of extra work to make it work right; see the manual for details... -- (Another fine mess brought to you by valley@gsbsun.uchicago.edu)

(I'm running 4DOSv301A under QEMMv50 & Desqviewv226.) If you've not checked out 4DOS, you should. It has command history, aliases, multiple-commands on one line, and many other features that you'll find quite nice.

In my reply to him, I SHOULD have mentioned that I use 4DOS as the secondary shell, also. Thus, all of it's features are available to me at any time. (This is what happens when one installs upgrades to the OS, and promptly takes them for granted!)

Doskey.com that comes with MSDOS 5 will work with Desqview and you don't have to load it into a desqview window. Just start it on boot-up and you'll have access to it in any Desqview DOS window. -- -----/ _ _ \-------------------------------------------------------------------- | o o | Eugene Mok s907396@minyos.xx.rmit.oz.au (Melbourne OZ) \ ^ / ------\ o /---------------------------------------------------------------------

4DOS works flawlessly with DV, giving you command editing, aliasing and much more, with memory gain on top of all that. -- ========================================================================== Ted Grusec Communications Research Centre (Govt. of Canada, DOC) 3701 Carling Ave., Ottawa, Ont.K2H 8S2, CANADA Internet: ted@dgbt.doc.ca Compuserve: 73607,1576 (613) 998 2762 Fax (613) 993 8657
