Version: PromptPal 1.4
"More than just a user-friendly DOS prompt"
Pros: I had a corrupt file on my desktop that I could not delete through dos because it was some 50+ characters long -I didn't name it- and dos would crash when it tried to delete it. Furthermore, the *- wild card symbol didn't work as well.
This app had no character length limitations and deleted the corrupt file.
Just to test it, I created a mock text file with a ridiculously long name. The *- wild card symbol in windows dos couldn't handle it, but again it worked with this app. Summary: this thing is too cool.
Cons: Works a bit like frontpage and tries to guess the command you want. You can just delete the commands to solve that.
