Following on from this, in the Dos version "ZIP c:\command.com /C exit" used
to clear the keyboard memory so that [Page Up] no longer had previous
commands available at the R:>.
This doesn't seem to happen in the Windows version. Is there a special way
to clear the stored keyboard memory now? I'm (still) using W98.
Thanks in advance,
Regards, Alastair.
