The following are special codes you can use in DOSKey macro definitions:

$T  Command separator: allows multiple commands in a macro
$1-$9 Batch parameters: equivalent to %1-%9 in batch programs
$* Symbol replaced by everything following macro name on the command line

EXAMPLES

doskey - This would install doskey to allow you to press the up or down command to see history, or right or left to retype previous command.

TECHNICAL SUPPORT

Specifying a buffer size larger than 61900 for DOSKEY causes the computer to freeze.

DOSKEY supports approximately 61900 bytes. Due to an error in the DOSKEY program that causes DOSKEY to mark memory as unused when it terminates and stays resident specifying a buffer size larger then this amount causes the computer to hang.
