        Please excuse me for being anal. There is too much good information here to leave disorganized. I've tested most of these commands on my PC successfully. =^..^=

        If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
        1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
        2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
        3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
        4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
        5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

            Add "F2 is a shortcut to rename a file".

                With a little searching I found a few more.

                I added a dozen or so lines to the spreadsheet.
                Also find attached a complete list of command prompts
                and a compete list of keyboard shortcuts.

                I don't claim to understand them all, but it's some interesting reading.

                    One other CMD shortcut I use but didn't see listed in BCs helpful files is F3.
                    This will reload a ping, netstat, etc command without typing it all back in.

                        This is not a CMD shortcut. It is an old DOS function key operation. F3 recalls the only last command line. F2 followed by a letter in the previous command will recall every thing up to but not including the letter. F6 will insert a Control Z, which acts as an end of file copying from the command line to a file. The up arrow is more useful than F3 as it allows you to scroll back through all recent commands.

                            That's my preference too. Thanks, slimslob. =^..^=
