COMMAND LINE AND "HISTORY"

                          COMMAND LINE EDITING

     The command line panel is located at the bottom of the right part of
the screen. The cursor blinking in the command line indicates that CP is
ready to accept your commands. All the characters that you type while in
CP's main menu are displayed in the command line and after pressing [Enter]
the contents of the command line will be interpreted as a regular DOS
command. This feature provides the user with an emulator of the standard
command processor COMMAND.COM. You may edit the command line using the
standard keys [left arrow], [right arrow], [Home], [End], [Del],
[Backspace], [Esc].

     To make your work with the command line easier CP has the specific
"Command line" submenu that allows you to edit the command line and work
with the "history".  This submenu contains the following items to speed up
the command line input:

path A          [Ctrl-A]     - copy the path of the current directory
                               of Panel A to the command line

path B          [Ctrl-B]     - copy the path of the current directory of
                               Panel B to the command line

                               Panel A to the command line

2 - file b      [Ctrl-K]     - copy the name of the selected file of
                               Panel B to the command line

Source path     [Ctrl-^]     - copy the source path that contains CP to
                               the command line

Delete char     [Del]        - delete the character under the cursor

Backspace       [Backspc]    - delete the character to the left of the
                               cursor

Clear           [Esc]        - clear the command line (to perform this
                               funktion you may also move the cursor onto
                               the command line panel and press the right
                               button.)

Execute         [Enter]      - input the command line
                               (you can also perform this function by
                               moving the mouse cursor onto the cursor in
                               the command line and pressing the left
                               button.)

                                "HISTORY"

     Each command typed in by the user is stored in a special buffer that is
called "history". You can retrieve a command from the "history" buffer to
edit and use it again. The "history" can store as many as 10 commands.
"history". The submenu "Command line" contains the following items to work
with the "history":

History         [Ctrl-F7]    - pop-up the list of command lines in
                               the "history"
     The panel will appear on the screen.  Using the mouse or the keys
     [up arrow], [down arrow] you may select the desired line in the panel.
     Press [Enter] to execute the chosen command. If you need to modify the
     line before it is executed, hit [Ctrl-Enter] and the current command
     line will be replaced with the one selected from the "history" list.

     Each time you type in a command, it is stored in the "history" buffer
     after pressing [Enter] (unless it coincides with the last entry of the
     "history" buffer). A command can be stored in the "history" without its
     execution.
     After being stored in the "history" the command is no longer in the
     command line. You may use the "history" without popping up the command
     list.

                               "history"
     "History" has a stack structure, i.e. the command which was stored last
     is retrieved first.  By pressing [Enter] several times in a row you
     will be able to call up preceding "History" commands one by one.

Next line       [Ctrl-X]     - retrieve next command from the "history"
