What do I need to do to recreate it? Installing TCMD into an explicitly

junction to the master plugin directory) did not create it.

Ah! The limits are not included in topic "limitations.htm". I did not look
for it in the topic describing the configuration dialogs, where they are
mentioned. RTFM. The limit of the directory history size is still a bit low,
I think, though I have not yet tried to increase it to the limit.

When I pop up the directory history list, the unsorted list is not very
useful to navigate quickly to a directory with a long path, with the actual
directory name common, which has not been recently accessed. Takes a lot of
searching to find the one I want.
With command history, esp. when the FOR command is involved, one of the
problems of finding the one I want from the pop-up window is that I don't
remember what name I used for the loop control variable. The bigger issue is
that I often use command groups to redirect FOR's output. The presence of
"(" or esp."( " before the FOR makes it difficult to find, so what I think
I'd really find useful is if the command history pop-up matching logic would
ignore all superfluous spaces, consider space and tab the same, and also
ignore leading "(". This would be a slight move toward regular expressions,
but very limited in scope.
