As I got quite used to Cygwin and Linux I began assimilating the cmd console's look and feel towards Unix style (name completion, 'ls,la,ll' instead of 'dir..' etc.). Unfortunately, there's still one big, annoying MS-feature: one must enter 'exit' in order to terminate the cmd console. Well, I mapped a doskey macro to it, so 'Q-Enter' will also do, but I'm accustomed to the shortcut 'Ctrl-D' (without 'Enter') and would like to use this in conjunction with the cmd console as well. Does anyone know whether this could be done in Windows XP? I surmise, I once did a tweak ten years ago dealing with Windows 3.1 - one could 'abuse' a system variable named WINPRMT to map the 'Esc' key value ('Ctrl-P-Esc') to the 'exit >nul' command, so hitting Escape closed the Dos console, it required ANSI.SYS to be loaded. Any new suggestions for Windows XP? Best wishes, Svartsjel -- +++ GMX - Mail, Messaging & more http://www.gmx.net +++ NEU: Mit GMX ins Internet.
