Well, I'll survive without this - but I believe commad-line editing keys (that I have just in front of me) beg to be used. ;) I'm aware most of original DOS utilities didn't use these - but I believe there's no need to keep that "dark side" of DOS legacy. FreeODS tools can - and should - be better than original ones. > Mercury also suggests Ctrl-Arrow for word-wise cursor movements. It would be handy too, I agree -- regards, Zbigniew _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
