I think MSDOS supports at least 1024 >characteres for command line. MS DOS programs are limited to 127 bytes by the available length in the Program Segment Prefix area; the max supported by the various MS shell versions are: MS DOS command.com 127 Windows NT cmd.exe 256 Windows 2K cmd.exe 2046 Windows XP cmd.exe 8190 Some Unix shells keep the last command name or line in env var $_: do any of the Windows shells do anything similar? -- Thanks.
