If you are using ANSI.SYS or some variant, you can say: echo off echo *[A*[K*[2A * = <escape> What this does is does is to back up a line and erase the "echo off" that MS-DOS so kindly left behind. So it's a KLUDGE...flame Microsoft, not me! The number and placement of the up-line commands (<esc>[A) may need to be adjusted for different version of MS-DOS, the above is for NBI's version of 2.11. Use the debugger to create the first copy of this "program", thereafter, you can prepend it using your favorite editor. Happy Hacking! Mark Armbrust
