SUMMARY
=======
Command-line editors, such as MS-DOS 5.0 Doskey, may experience problems when a
CTTY command is issued. Command-line editors use system BIOS calls to manipulate
keyboard input and display so they can provide fast, flexible command-line
editing. The CTTY command redirects MS-DOS character input and output calls, but
not system BIOS calls. This can be confusing to command-line editors, producing
unpredictable results.
As a result, DOSKEY and such third-party command-line editors as DOSEDIT, CED,
and PCED should not be used when the CTTY command is executed.
