Hi Group,

command window. Any suggestion?

TIA

When you say 'doesn't work anymore', did it work before and then suddenly
stop working? How about in the CMD window?

After starting the CMD window and typed in the doskey command, I've
typed in a few DOS commands and then press the Up and Down arrows, and
the previously typed in commands don't scroll. Also function keys don't
operate either. Other than that, the system is fine...

thanks,
peter

You are using CMD.EXE rather than COMMAND.COM as your command processor?
With CMD.EXE, there's no need to type the DOSKEY command; this functionality
is built in.

First, you don't need to type DOSKEY. That functionality is built into the
CMD process.

Are you sure that you are not opening a COMMAND window? COMMAND was from
Win98 -- you want to use CMD with Win2K or XP.

Go to START>RUN and type CMD /k.
