After years of having systems which used CTRL-U as the line kill character, I simply cannot get used to using ESC, as the COMMAND.COM line editor wants. Does anyone have a patch for COMMAND.COM to use ^U instead of ESC? I presume this would be a one-byte patch -- unless there's some obnoxious cleverness w/r/t ESC in general in COMMAND.COM. Help? -- Bob Weissman Internet: bob@acornrc.uucp UUCP: ...!{ ames | decwrl | oliveb | pyramid }!acornrc!bob Arpanet: bob%acornrc.uucp@ames.arc.nasa.gov
