Function Keys and MS-DOS
As mentioned earlier, MS-DOS uses several of your keyboard's
function keys to provide you with shortcuts. When you press
the ENTER key after typing a command, MS-DOS copies the
command into a "buffer" memory. By using the function keys,
you can edit and reuse the command without having to retype
the entire line.
– Fl key
Copies one character at a time from the buffer to the command
line
– F2 key
Copies the entire buffer up to the next character you type
– F3 key
Copies the entire buffer to the command line
