command buffer
Last modified: Thursday, May 14, 1998
A temporary storage area where commands are kept. (In DOSenvironments, the command buffer is called a template.) DOS and UNIXsupport several operations for manipulating the command buffer. For example, you can use the F3 function key in DOS to copy the template 's contents to the display screen. This is useful for repeating a command or for correcting a mistake.
