Hi All.

I discovered you can use keyboard aliases in the input command so I thought
I'd put some into the chess prog to define stuff like pageup for undo

BUT

pageup is defined as histwinopen and option doesn't work very well...

 option //normalkey=pgup

that works, but how do you undo it...

 option //histwinopen=pgup

that doesn't work (even on the command line). (4dos ver 7.00A)
pageup no longer activates the history popup... how come?

it gets worse:

 :: foobar.bat
 option //normalkey=X
 setlocal
 unalias *
 endlocal

run that and all your aliases dissapear, and 4dos goes flakey...


It seems like I'll have to start a second instane of 4dos.com instead of
relying on setlocal and option to redefine the keys and protect the
aliases.
