I get the impression you get a lot of pleasure out of putting other people down. Try not to exhibit such traits in front of such a large audience. Daniel, you have several options. I have a patch for DOS which turns on ^U and ^W, to be applied to your system disk. There is a program going around which patchs DOS after it is loaded. Finally, you can use a TSR called history which also provides very nice command line editing. -- I speak for myself, not the company. Phil Ngai, {ucbvax,decwrl,allegra}!amdcad!phil or phil@amd.com
