[Here line-eater. Come boy! I have this nice treat for you!!!] Well, I went and did it. I found the spots in the PC-DOS 3.20 COMMAND.COM file that control the spots for ECHO OFF. The code between 3.10 and 3.20 wasn't really different, so the patch was real easy to find. You will need both of these patches installed. When I did these I discovered that the first one only does batch files, non inclusive of AUTOEXEC.BAT. The second one only does the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. So, you can do either of the patches or both. For non AUTOEXEC.BAT batch files: DEBUG COMMAND.COM -E 1B2C <cr> xxxx:1B2C 01.00<cr> -W<cr> -Q<cr> For AUTOEXEC.BAT: DEBUG COMMAND.COM -E 115E <cr> xxxx:115E 03.02<cr> -W<cr> -Q<cr> I also looked for the other two COMMAND.COM patches that were posted for DOS 3.10. The first one was for ECHO displaying a blank line if ECHO was followed by two spaces. (Which is hard to create in some word processors) Note: The following has been found, but NOT tested. DEBUG COMMAND.COM -E 3A88 <cr> xxxx:3A88 E8.83 20.F9 00.02 74.72<cr> -W<cr> -Q<cr> This next one was the CLS error in PC-DOS 3.10. In PC-DOS 3.20 it has been corrected. So, there is nothing to do. Enjoy the patches. -- ihnp4------\ harvard-\ \ Mr. Video seismo!uwvax!nicmad!brown topaz-/ / decvax------/

According to the PC-DOS 3.10 patches that I have, the CLS command would try and clear 26 lines on the screen, instead of 25. -- ihnp4------\ harvard-\ \ Mr. Video seismo!uwvax!nicmad!brown topaz-/ / decvax------/
