PromptPal

Command Line Power, Windows Ease-of-Use

No matter how good Windows gets, we still can't do without our DOS window. There are just too many functions that still aren't available in Windows.

But the more we get used to Windows, the harder it is to use the built-in version of DOS. We can't paste using shortcuts, we have to re-open the program if we want to use more than one window, dragging is very limited, a lot of the Windows features we've gotten used to aren't available, and, most of all, we don't remember all the details of all the command arguments, or even all the commands.

It's too bad (we used to think) that nobody's written a better interface to the DOS functions. But then we discovered PromptPal.
