CMDbar is a command line utility to control Windows from a keyboard.  It runs under Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows NT operating systems. The program allows user to type most known commands as copy, del, dir, easily launch favorite programs, navigate to WWW links, quickly access and explore favorite folders, etc.  CMDbar supports easy-to-use file management window, multi-line aliases, favorite files, folders, programs, file filters and many built-in commands.  Math expressions can be evaluated directly from CMDbar (command '=').  CMDbar can also store and run scripts written in one of the popular scripting languages (VBScript, JavaScript, PerlScript and PythonScript).  VBA-like scripting capability is available (like VBA macros in Microsoft Office), so, all CMDbar commands can be called within scripts.  Internet Explorer 4.x an higher users can benefit from current folder synchronization between CMDbar and IE.  User is assisted by Quick Help (tooltip window displaying description of the currently typed command) and Smart Command Complete offering automatically possible commands (like Internet Explorer auto-complete).  Drag-and drop support makes configuration of CMDbar very convenient and fast.  A hot-key can be assigned to CMDbar for fast access.
