  I've been happily (usually) buzzing along with Win 3.0 now for a
few months.  But I happen to _like_ command line environments,
so I keep a DOS window up most of the time.  Thing is, after
using Windows apps for awhile I start wanting more out of
my DOS box.  Specifically, I'd like to be able to scroll
back through previous pages of the session using a slider,
like other apps.  Is there some app out there that would
do something like that?  Sort of a windows version of a
command line editor? Other ideas would include highlighting
a section of text, then an <ENTER> to execute it on the
command line.
  Ok, ok...maybe I'm asking too much from poor, persecuted
DOS. Still, is this possible?
