doskey.exe is a Windows COFF/PE executable. It provides a command-line interface to the Windows console alias and history functions, such as GetConsoleAliases GetConsoleAliasExes AddConsoleAlias GetConsoleCommandHistory (undocumented) SetConsoleNumberOfCommands (undocumented) ExpungeConsoleCommandHistory (undocumented) Microsoft has hardly changed the Windows console in 20 years. I think the biggest change was migrating console window management from the system process csrss.exe to the user process conhost.exe in Windows 7 (NT 6.1). http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753867.aspx http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms682073 _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
