Sure, yes, that is what I did when configuring MS-DOS 3.3 for customers in 1988 or 1989. :-) But DOS moved on and matured, and soon it became possible to do much more mature, professional-looking menus, firstly with 3rd party tools and then by DR or MS-DOS 5, with built-in tools. While I liked using DOS and would be happy to use some DOS even now, I would want late-era DOS, not 1980s style. :-D -- Liam Proven ~ Profile: https://about.me/liamproven Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk ~ gMail/gTalk/FB: lpro...@gmail.com Twitter/LinkedIn: lproven ~ Skype: liamproven IoM: (+44) 7624 227612: UK: (+44) 7939-087884 Czech [+ WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal]: (+420) 702-829-053 _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
