Is it possible to remember the command history in CMD.EXE (Windows 7), between sessions?

Or is there some enhancement/wrapper/replacement which has this (basic IMO) feature?

Maybe DOSKEY still works ... look into that. – Randolph West Dec 9 '10 at 16:31

There is basic history functionality for the current session using F7, although across sessions you'll want PyCmd.

PyCmd is a Python wrapper for cmd.exe which brings a couple features of traditional UNIX-based shells to the table, including command history and "smart" tab completion.

Thanks for the suggestion. PyCmd seemed nice to me, but rather buggy (and not very active). sourceforge.net/projects/pycmd/forums/forum/951390/topic/… – leonbloy Jan 5 '11 at 18:44
