And, actually my first statement isn't quite true.  On the NT-based
systems, all programs that read from stdin using normal means automatically
inherit DOSKEY support.  That is, I can use the cursor keys to scroll
through my past history, edit the lines, and resubmit them.

However, that still provides no method to save them to a file.
