Thanks, I'll try to examine it. Still my suggestion is to make all these
tools of FreeDOS, that offer command line - better. There's really no valid
reason _not_ to use these few keys present on every PC's keyboard. Neither
there was any in the past as well - as I think about this today maybe
"command history" had to be invented, but why MS$ didn't order their
programmers to make use out of that keys too - no idea. Maybe simply
"because those utilities were still usable with poor quality command-line".

Not that convincing rationale considering rather modest overhead necessary
