As others have said there is not comment implemented for config.sys files in version of DOS older than 4.01. However, just putting a REM at the beginning of the line works just fine, if you can tolerate the resulting error message. DOS just skips the "invalid" command and proceeds to the next one. I have used this method for years to have commands in my config.sys that I sometimes want to use, so that I don't hve to REMEMBER them when those rare occasions arise. Fred
