Mr. Link, you are way out of line here. 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.
