Auto Command Completion In Dos
Replying to pawitpMy Windows XP Command Prompt will only auto complete folders and files, which is great, but what about the actual commands? I.E. Say I want to complete �ipconfig�, so I type in �ipcon� then hit tab and nothing happens. This is very disappointing; I hope that I'm making a mistake somewhere and Microsoft Command Prompt is capable of this very basic and necessary feature of a command line. Of course, I'm a linux user, so maybe I'm expecting too much of MS CMD? Something Microsoft did half right? -reply by Aaron

Command-line Scripting Into Next Version Of Windows
(0) I started watching the dot net show a while back, and I downloaded a few episodes particularly to
look at the future of Windows as a platform. There was quite a bit of stuff about the likes of
Avalon, and Indigo and suchlike, but there was also something very interesting about the new
Microsoft shell. Known as "Monad", or MSH, this is pretty much Microsoft's version of BASH or
KSH, but for Windows instead of UNIX. As someone pretty into UNIX because of its command line and
the ability to do shell scripts and so forth, I was immediately interested. Might be a little ....
