To qualify for use with the DosKey utility,
the application must run at the command prompt and provide buffered input. Because of the limitations
posed by DosKey macros, this book won??™t discuss them. However, you can find many
examples of DosKey macros online. For example, the Web page at http://www.palmtoppaper.com/
ptphtml/17/pt170037.htm shows a number of helpful macros you can create. You??™ll find a good
how-to article at http://www.atarimagazines.com/compute/issue137/S18_How_to_create_
keyboa.php. The article at http://www.melbpc.org.au/pcupdate/9405/9405article7.htm
provides step-by-step creation process for DosKey macros. This utility uses the following syntax:
DOSKEY [/REINSTALL] [/LISTSIZE=size] [/MACROS[:ALL | :exename]]
[/HISTORY] [/INSERT | /OVERSTRIKE] [/EXENAME=exename] [/MACROFILE=filename]
[macroname=[text]]
The following list describes each of the command line arguments.
/REINSTALL Installs a new copy of DosKey. Use this feature when your current copy has
become corrupted or simply filled with extraneous data.
/LISTSIZE=size Determines the number of commands that will fit within the command
history buffer. The default setting is 10.
