.Sh BEHAVIORS
.Ss AUTORUN
Autorun is enabled by default, and can be disabled with the
.Fl D
flag. If enabled, the program will search registry variables
.Cd HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor\AutoRun
and
.Cd HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor\AutoRun
for commands at startup and execute them if present.
.Ss COMMAND EXTENSIONS
Command extensions are enabled by default, and can be disabled by setting
.Fl E Ns = Ns OFF .
Extensions can modify the following commands:
.Pp
.Ic DEL or Ic ERASE ,
.Ic COLOR ,
.Ic CD or Ic CHDIR ,
.Ic MD or Ic MKDIR ,
.Ic PROMPT ,
.Ic PUSHD ,
.Ic POPD ,
.Ic SET ,
.Ic SETLOCAL ,
.Ic ENDLOCAL ,
.Ic IF ,
.Ic FOR ,
.Ic CALL ,
.Ic SHIFT ,
.Ic GOTO ,
.Ic START ,
.Ic ASSOC ,
.Ic FTYPE
.Ss EXECUTION-TIME ENVIRONMENT VARIABLE EXPANSION
Execution-time environment variable expansion is disabled by default, and can be enabled by setting
.Fl V Ns = Ns OFF .
If enabled, enclosing a variable name with '!' characters will substitute the variable's value at command execution time.
.Ss FILENAME COMPLETION
Filename completion is disabled by default, and can be enabled by setting
.Fl F Ns = Ns ON .
If enabled, Ctrl-D and Ctrl-F can be used for directory and file completion respectively.
.Ss MODIFIED INPUT HANDLING
If the
.Fl S
flag is present, the program will strip the leading and trailing quotes from the
.Ar command
supplied to
.Fl C
or
.Fl K
and pass the remaining string literally as if it was typed directly into the prompt, ignoring special characters.
.Sh BUGS
.Nm
lacks escape characters, meaning arguments with special characters
.Em must
be enclosed in quotes.
