Guest yaro137@googlemail.com Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 I've seen someone navigation through folders using command line the way so it was finishing the names of folders. Say you type in "prog" and you getting "program files". Must be som key combination. Any idea how to do that? yaro

There are two basic ways: The F keys starting with F2 will bring back past commands, parts of commands, or commands up to a certain letter, etc.. The up and down arrows will lead you through the last commands you issued sequentially. Up arrow once is the last command, up arrow again to the next to last, and so forth, until you get to the very first command you entered. Very useful features IMO. Some like the F keys, a leftover from DOS days, and some prefer the arrow keys more, which used to be an addon program. Cheers, Twayne
