This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

DOSKEY
DOSKEY is designed to replace the standard DOS line with one that's easier
to use. For a start it is in insert mode by default, making it much easier
to edit lines. But more than that, it can store up to 25 of the last
commands which can be recalled by simply pressing the up and down cursor
keys. This is most useful when you wish to enter a series of commands which
are similar to each other, or you use the same command many times. If used
in your AUTOEXEC file, this must be the last command in the file. The keys
are: Left and Right arrows = move left and right; Up and Down arrows =
select previous/next stored command; Home = start of line; End = End of
line; Ctrl-E delete to end of line.
