These internal cmd.exe commands return a "file not found" dialog box - I would prefer to have them executed, even if the last six don't actually perform a useful purpose in doing so.
call
echo
set
if
for
assoc
ftype
erase
chdir
mkdir
rem
shift
goto
prompt
setlocal
endlocal

Important interpreter commands are hardcoded with "%comspec% command", the rest doesn't work.
I like your proposal and wished it would be supported by ghisler but because I read it already a dozen times (don't presume that you are the first one mentioning it...) I doubt that something will change, we'll have to wait and see.
Do you know any other app still creating pifs in windows dir for compatibility means? Well, I don't...

copy, too, some more probably... No time to check, I use cmd /k anyway.
Or one could make a nice checkbox besides command line called "insert cmd /k before execution".
Somewhat like that...

No need to find out, it would be enough if TC would just start %comspec% when it doesn't know a command or doesn't find the executable.I'm afraid it will be implemented never because there no clean way finding out all internal command of any command interpreter.

TC checks not only executables and internals command but also registry keys!'m afraid it's not so simple. If TCmd would do so http://... or ftp://... wouldn't work.
http:// and ftp:// are protocols and therefore lead to the execution of the corresponding HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\HTTP\shell\open\command resp. HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\FTP\shell\open\command
I suggest you use diskmon and regmon from sysinternals.com to investigate how TC is working, no need to think too complicated.

TC supports important commands,if more needed use .BAT files
TC does supports important useful commands in command line,
What for do you need CALL if you do not run it in a .BAT file???
I see no reason to do that, unless you try to run *.BAT files line by line in TC command line (but that does not make sens too). .
But if someone really needs something like that there's a way:
Just create .BAT file and execute the Batch file.
For example - you want to have echo command.
You type "echo Some text" and want to have it displayed on DOS screen.
You need to go to the directory which is in search path (eg C:\Bat - add it to PATH environment variable and put all *.BAT files to execute, OR you can use C:\Windows - but I do not recommend that)
Now create in that dir file echo.bat and in it's content create one line:
echo %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
additionally you can add command PAUSE at the end.
Now whenever you type echo xxxxx it will display that text and will not provide error.
Exception - is supports up to 9 parameters (could be somehow fixed with Shift command).
Exception2 - if you type ECHO. you will receive error - I see no workaroud for that (except pressing Shift+Enter to execute command).
I hope that using these BAT files will help. Eventually use Shift+Enter.
Personally I am against modifying TC to support this (unless you have better arguments
)

Indeed, instead of: echo %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
it is better to use: echo %*
(But better check if your Windows supports it, type:
echo 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 abc
and see if 10 and abc are also displayed.)
2Hacker - THX, What windows versions support %* - I think it could not be used under DOS, but it works with Win XP, how about NT/2000 and Win 95/98?
