Make sure to use quick edit mode, insert mode, and at least a few hundred rows in the screen buffer. That certainly makes CMD.EXE less painful...
And set up DOSKEY to run by modifying
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor\AutoRun
In Regedit
BTW, is autocomple on TAB on by default in XP, or do you need to tweak the registry for that?
Its a registry hack under:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor\CompletionChar
for File completion and
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor\PathCompletionChar
For Folder completion
You have to specify the decimal or hex ASCII value of the key
27 for escape, 9 for tab...
And you need to modify the shortcut to start CMD with
CMD /F:ON
Its all in the help you get when you type CMD /? at the DOS prompt.
