Thread: About Utility

By default how much space does a DOSKEY utility occupies in memory.Hope that DOSKEY utility is a memory resident utility!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know that DOSKEY utility is a memory resident utility. But I have no idea about the space occupied by DOSKEY utility in memory. This is a interesting question. Hope someone share their knowledge in this discussion.

An external command starting with DOS 5 that provides command history and macros (typed-in commands stored for later use). The command buffer (reserved space) is 512 bytes long unless you specify otherwise. Three examples for loading Doskey follow:

doskey 512 byte buffer
doskey /bufsize=1000 1K buffer
doskey /bufsize=256 minimum size
