PromptPal is a replacement GUI (graphical user interface) for the command prompt console, previously known as DOS prompt.
It does not replace the command processor itself - every instruction runs through Microsoft's cmd.exe as normal.
PromptPal enables you to configure commands and preview the results in an easy and user-friendly way.
This handy utility is highly configurable, and provides full Windows-style editing, command completion, syntax help, command history, save to file (ideal for creating batch files), integration with Windows Explorer and much more.
The software also has an optional band that is displayed on your Windows task bar and acts like a hybrid of the Windows "Run" box and the command prompt.
Limitations:
· 30-day trial
What's New in This Release:
· Totally rewritten internally to put you closer to the underlying command shell. Commands that formerly required special treatment in PromptPal v1 just work normally in v2, e.g. More, Telnet, NSLOOKUP etc.
· Support Windows Powershell and other shells of your choosing.
· Integrated support for "Run as different user", which can even be combined with "Run as Administrator"
· Toolbar control over command completion options (simple on / off toggles)
· Command history is now both shared and separate. Essentially what that means is that each new tab starts off with a copy of the current shared history, but thereafter develops its own history, separate from the other existing tabs.
· Pass-thru for CTRL+D and any other key combos not mapped to a menu item.
· Windows 8 compatibility improved
· Dropped compatbility with Windows 2000
· Dropped taskbar band (only applicable to 32bit XP)
