   Three programs have been suggested over and over.....

   HISTORY

	   Copyright 1985-6  Michael M. Rubenstein

	   HISTORY is a history processing terminate and stay resident
	   program.  It provides the ability to recall and edit previous
	   commands and allows much more sophisticated editing than is found
	   in the normal MSDOS system.

   Filename completion in HISTORY is limited to those filenames which have 
   already been accessed and are in the history buffer.

   HISTORY.ARC is available from SIMTEL by FTP

I modified History to provide for filename completion.  It was posted
some time ago on c.b.i.p, and it's archived on sun.soe.clarkson.edu,
pub/pc/comp.binaries.ibm.pc/history.arc.  If you can't ftp, send me
mail and I'll put it up on the CUHUG BBS and you can call in and get it.

you oppose its reality.  If you do not call it a short staff, you ignore the
facts.  Now, what do you wish to call it?"
