Command Reference
I would like to see a command reference posted. When I searched for DOSKEY, I was taken to the command reference for Windows Server. I have to assume the program works the same, but I noticed there are other commands in Windows Server that are not available in Vista, which could lead to confusion.<br /><br />Along the same lines, I would appreciate a full description of the DOS commands as part of the Help information delivered with Vista. My installation, at least, lacks this information, and the information provided by "HELP DOSKEY" or "DOSKEY /?", which are the same, is insufficient to enable me to prepare macros. Going online for the information is a nuisance.
