CmdLi - Features

Here are some highlights of CommandLine Light:

• Internal DOS commands recognized automatically.
• All other DOS commands executed based on the PATH variable.
• DOSKEY macros (also known as aliases) can be read from any file and used by CmdLi.
• Input beginning with an exclamation mark '!' is interpreted as a DOS command.
• The input of a single exclamation mark '!' launches an MS-DOS box.
• Files are executed by checking their extension against the registry database. The appropriate program is then launched, and the file loaded.
• Indicates a directory. Explorer is opened automatically at the given directory.
• If an http or ftp URL (uniform resource Locator) is input, the default browser is launched and connects with this URL, the URL can be in the forms http://*, ftp://* or also in the short form www.* and/or ftp.*.
• With the CD command, the working directory can be changed as with MS-DOS. All following commands are then referenced to this directory.

Of course, CmdLi stores command input history. The number of commands stored can be changed between 1 and 999. Moreover, the history may be stored permanently so that all commands successfully interpreted may be retrieved. History may also be used as with MS-DOS using the DOSKEY command, type a character and press F8. History can be searched using F7 (a dropdown list appears), and may be deleted using <Alt> + F7.
