Replace your PROMPT statement in config.sys and autoexec.bat to read: SET PROMPT=$e[0;30;47m$p$g Or something similar (replace the "$p$g" part with your favorite prompt text). Note that you'll need ANSI support active. This is by default for OS/2 windows. For DOS boxes, include a DEVICE=\OS2\MDOS\ANSI.SYS /X in your config.sys. -- +------------------------+------------------------------------+ | David Charlap | "Apple II forever" - Steve Wozniak | | dic5340@hertz.njit.edu | "I drank what?" - Socrates | +------------------------+------------------------------------+
