KEYS - Enable or disable the history list

 
 Purpose:    Enable, disable, or display the history list. 
             
 Format:     KEYS [ON | OFF | LIST] 
 
 See also:  HISTORY. 
 Usage 
 This command is provided for compatibility with the KEYS command in 
 CMD.EXE, which controls the history list in OS/2.  The same functions are 
 available by setting the HistMin directive in the .INI file, and by using 
 the HISTORY command. 
 The history list collects the commands you type for later recall, 
 editing, and viewing.  You can view the contents of the list through the 
 history list window or by typing any of the following commands: 

 
         [c:\] history
         [c:\] history /p
         [c:\] keys list
 
 
 The first command displays the entire history list.  The second displays 
 the entire list and pauses at the end of each full screen.  The third 
 command produces the same output as the first, except that each line is 
 numbered. 
 You can disable the collection and storage of commands in the history 
 list by typing: 

 
         [c:\] keys off
 
 
 You can turn the history back on with the command: 

 
         [c:\] keys on
 
 
 If you issue the KEYS command without any parameters, CMD.EXE will show 
 you the current status of the history list. 
 KEYS also affects the way CMD.EXE reads input from the keyboard.  KEYS 
 OFF will force CMD.EXE into line input mode; KEYS ON will return input to 
 the usual character by character method.  See the LineInput directive, or 
 the /L option of the SETDOS command, for details on line input mode.
