  In some versions of DOS, DOSKEY extends the basic keyboard

  features built into the command interpreter.

Comments:

  The external DOSKEY utility had been incorporated into FreeCOM.
  Use cursor UP, and DOWN keys to recall the history and HISTORY to display
  it. Use cursor LEFT, and Right and the END and HOME keys to navigate
  within the command line and toggle INSERT between overstrike and insert
  mode. Use the TAB key to complete the current word as filename; use it
  twice to show all matching files.
  DOSKEY is a command internal to command.com and needs no other file
  in order to work.
