- Update information for Dr. Shaw's DOS Shell
-
- 1/23/86
- Be sure and read the information on Menu Limitations in the
- Manual. Menus do not run on DOS versions below 3.xx.
- Ctrl-T now deletes the command or phrase to the right, not
- the entire line to the right.
- Home will move to the beginning of the command - line.
- End will move to the last character on the command - line.
- ! will display a history of the other 19 commands in the
- buffers.
- !# (where # is a number from 1 - 19) displays the given
- command line buffer.
- Backspace and ^H now perform backspace-delete.
- Del now deletes the character under the cursor (like ^G).
-
- A bug concerning the Date and Time commands has been fixed.

- The Shell still uses about 44-48k of memory. To verify
- this, run the MEM command and note the available memory. Then
- run another image of the Shell while the current Shell is already
- running. Run the MEM command again and subtract the difference
- in available memory. Type EXIT to return to the first Shell.
- The current version is only about 24K on disk (it was 32K)
- before. I hope to get memory usage down to 32K eventually,
- assuming I can squeeze some new features in at the same time.
- I have a number of features I will probably add. I like to
- take the time to consider whether something is really worthwhile
- before adding it, so do NOT consider this a promise that these
- will be added, or soon. However, these may include:
- * Improved alias capabilities.
- * A sophisticated shell file interpreter.
- * Use of the DOS environment strings and prompt.
- * Argument expansion specification in CONFIG.SH.
- * Shell configuration modify and show commands.
- * Command Line Macros.
- * Specification of the History length in CONFIG.SH.
- * All sorts of other goodies! If you have an idea,
- share it with me!
