Hi, trying to use enhanced doskey Ver 2.8 with dosbox megabuild 5.
I've replaced doskey.com with the enhanced doskey.com, in the .conf file under autoexec section entered: doskey.
Now want to use F8 / alt + F8 to see history starting with character, I enter first letter of commands to list at prompt and press F8, but nothing happens - what am I doing wrong?
Also tab key doesn't show command history
Thanks for any help
David

Where can I find out how to install 4dos with dosbox, how do I check if it's installed.
Entered in autoexec section of dosbox .conf

SET COMSPEC=C:\DOS\4DOS.COM

the path before MOUNT is C:\SA-EXTRAS\DOS which path do I use?
