Hi

I have an old portable 8086 class computer running ms-dos 3.3. I would 
like to write a command line history buffer (like doskey, etc), not 
because I need one, but because I want to write one myself. 

But I don't know how/where to start. I have searched RBIL, and hoped to 
find something useful, but all I found was ordinary keyboard input 
functions. I am sure I could make some kind of key logger (in asm), but I 
am only interested in the command lines. What is the way to go?
