Quoted from <5792@mimsy.UUCP> ["DOS command in batch file does not work when "echo off""], by deba@mimsy.UUCP (Deba Patnaik)... +--------------- | PROMPT command does not work when "ECHO OFF'" but works when | "ECHO ON". These are the lines in the batch file. | | ECHO OFF | IF %1 == RED PROMPT $e[41m | IF %1 == GREEN PROMPT $e[42m | | If you have a CGA card try it with echo on and off. If you know | the reason why it does not work please let me know. Hope it is | not a bug in 3.1 DOS. +--------------- Works fine from AUTOEXEC.BAT on both mono and color (different prompt strings, of course) under DOS 2.11 and DOS 3.1, on my system. ++Brandon -- ``for is he not of the Children of Luthien?
