All versions have a good command history. If you have been typing a lot of
commands just using the up and down arrows is not enough. 4os2 will do
command completion so if I enter co and then use the up arrow I will see all
the commands I typed that start with co and skip all others. I believe F8
will display the entire command history and allow you to select the one you
want.
4OS2 etc has a select command that is very nice. If I type the Command:
Select Del (*.bat)
I will get a list of all bat files in the dir and can highlight which ones
will be deleted.

I recall you discussing these during the break at one meeting.
One thing that struck me about this is that it is really *more* consistent

PW> There are several replacement Command files available that give extra
PW> functions to the command line user. My favorite is 4OS2. There is also a
PW> 4DOS and 4NT so you have a familiar set of commands in all three OSs.
You mentioned that they will interpret a directory name,
entered at the prompt, as a command to change to that directory,
if the directory name can't be confused with any internal or external
command
or program. (Where the default command files you mention above only
do this for the 'volume' disk partition.)
with how UNIX interprets the permissions for directories than any
of the actual UNIX shells I have any familiarity with.
When a person/group/others have 'execute' permission for a directory,
(which is just a file with some special features that environment)
it means they can make it the active working directory,
but all of them require that you preface the directory with a 'special type
of
CALL statement' ( 'CD' :-) ) to 'execute' them.
Any other neat features of this programs come to mind immediately?
I recall a guy who went by the handle of "Cloner" on some
Majornet newsgroups who was a big enthusiast for 4DOS.
I plan on trying them out sometime.
