It's a command line enhancer that works with the normal COMMAND.COM so you don't have to switch to an entirely new command shell just to get filename completion. Anarkey also includes command recall (command stack with search capabilities), aliasing and the ability to type multiple commands on a single line (using ';' to seperate the commands...). (plus a bunch of other features I won't list here...) Quite a nice enhancer. I have no association with the author of Anarkey except liking his (her?) program. Sorry I can't give you more specifics, but I haven't been working in an MS-DOS environment for a while so I don't have any of the documentation handy. --- John L.
