it's a lot more pleasant to use than the stripped command.com.



Command.com is NOT "stripped". It has never had a history function
without running a TSR to manage it. That would have been (not anymore)
DOSKey.

Of course you are presuming MS-DOS; DR-DOS has had history without needing
a driver or TSR from the beginning and IIRC, the 4DOS command interpreter
did/does as well.

DRDOS was a DOS replacement OS. Yes, it had history function.

4DOS' command processor was not called "command.com".
Yes, it had better functionality and speed in a very similar memory and disk
footprints.
