It's been my experience that there's no real way to disable the Ctrl-C
checking during a batch file -- HOWEVER, adding "BREAK=OFF" to your
config.sys AND not doing any input or output from the batch file (eg: with
the PAUSE command) will pretty much make sure that the batch file is not
interrupted.  Still, this does not make sure that executables (eg: MORE.COM,
ASSIGN.EXE, and utilities) run without being interupted by Ctrl-C.
If you have to use commands such as COPY or others that produce output,
redirect their output to nul (eg: COPY COMMAND.COM D:\ > NUL).

Hope this helps.
