Tabbed DOS Prompt with Command AutoCompletion
SUMMARY: PromptPal for Windows 2000, Windows XP, and above adds a variety of features for frequent DOS command prompt users including command autocompletion and automatic displaying of command help.
PromptPal is a replacement utility for the DOS command prompt in Windows 2000, Windows XP, and later versions. The software supports a multi-tabbed interface with renameable tabs, allowing you to open multiple prompts without having to open multiple windows. Auto-completion is supported for many commands, as well as auto-opening command help as you type.
Other features include a command history that remembers commands between console and sessions, Windows Explorer integration, the ability to save the console results to a text file, visual directory or file selection when entering a parameter for a DOS command, text searching inside the console, and a toolbar with shortcuts for text editing and other features.
Configuration options include changing the default directory, the ability to open multiple tabs in different directories upon startup, display preferences, toggling the command / path histories or adjusting their sizes, and toggling command autocompletion.
Note that PromptPal also comes with its own version of the Unix "tail" command that you can optionally include during the installation.
