DOSKEY--Examples

The /MACROS and /HISTORY switches are useful for creating batch programs to 
save macros and commands. For example, to create a batch program named
MACINIT.BAT that includes all Doskey macros, type the following command:

    doskey /macros > macinit.bat

To use the MACINIT.BAT file, edit it to include the DOSKEY command at the
beginning of each macro line.

To create a batch program named TMP.BAT that contains recently used
commands, type the following command:

    doskey /history >  tmp.bat

To define a macro with multiple commands, use $T to separate commands,
as follows:

    doskey tx=cd\temp$tdir/w $*

In the preceding example, the TX macro changes the current directory to
TEMP and then displays a directory listing, using the wide display format.
You can use $* at the end of the macro to append other switches to the DIR
command when you run TX.

The following macro uses a batch parameter for a new directory name.
The macro first creates a new directory and then changes to it from
the current directory.

    doskey mc=md $1$tcd $1

To use the preceding macro to create and change to a directory named BOOKS,
type the following:

    mc books

To create a macro that uses batch parameters for moving a file or group of
files, type the following command:

    doskey mv=copy $1 $2 $t del $1

To create a macro that causes the MEM command to pause after each screen,
type the following command:

    doskey mem=mem $* /p
