cmd.exe is just an example. I use rlwrap for other Windows command line tools like Oracle's sqlplus and others. But even in stuff like cmd.exe, only basic history and editing is available natively, rlwrap provides additional benefits like history search, persistence of history between sessions, more sophisticated editing commands, etc. I have a lot of aliases wrapping all windows tools with rlwrap. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
