SUMMARY
=======
If you create a DOSKEY macro with the same name as an internal DOS command, the
DOSKEY macro supersedes the internal command.
To execute the internal command, type a space before the command name. For
example, if you create the following DOSKEY macro
DOSKEY /MACRO DEL=COPY $1 $2
then DEL behaves like the COPY command. However, if you type a space before DEL,
the internal command DEL is executed.
For more information on the DOSKEY command and creating macros, see page 453 of
version 5.0 "Microsoft MS-DOS User's Guide and Reference."
