Got it. So, is there anyway to shut off history from the windows
console? That would probably solve the large-line-bug while still
allowing tab completion.

I was able to lower buffer size and number of buffers to 1, but it
didn’t solve the problem. (The console did keep a 1 line history,
though, so this still might be the problem.)

I tried

C:>DOSKEY /listsize=0

That seems to remove the history in cmd.exe?

Hi,

I have tried irb after this command:

C:>DOSKEY /listsize=0

That bug is still there. But when I use the old command.com it’s all
good. Thanks Dave for this tip !

Yes, it does - thanks.

Unfortunately, irb’s readline still doesn’t work, so my theory was
wrong. Oh well.

Screen buffer size:
width: 80
height: 999

Window size:
width: 80
height: 41
