If you have or are thinking of modifying CMDEDIT in a way that would be
generally useful, you might like to contact Wayne Davison
(davison@borland.com) who has agreed to co-ordinate the next "extended"
release of CMDEDIT. Below are a few things which would be useful additions
to CMDEDIT.
* The installation code needs to be re-written to be DOS 5 and Windows aware.
This requires code to interact with the DOS 5 task switcher API and the
Windows enhanced-mode API. The code should also allow for loading and
removing from high memory (and changing options when CMDEDIT is loaded
high). Most of the hard work here has already been published in more
recent PC Magazine programs such as DOSCLIP. It should therefore only be a
matter of re-organising stacks and variables into an area that can be
allocated as instance memory and incorporating code from these other
programs.
* History save feature (and if that gets done, might as well have an alias
save feature as well).
* Configurable Control-Keys (via configuration file).
* More emacs-like editing (including a kill buffer).
* csh-like history searching (probably conditionally compiled into the code
as it would increase its size quite a bit).
