Hi, normally you RETURN to the DOS prompt when you leave a program. The DOS prompt is done by command.com ...
However, e.g. in Windows, you can START a new instance of command.com to get a new DOS prompt window. You can only edit text files with text editors in DOS, everything else is only suitable for very short files of a few lines: You can do "copy con file.txt" to type a file (no editing, just type it) and you can do "echo sometext > file.txt" to create a file with one line and "echo sometext >> file.txt" to add a line to a text file. And please change the subject line to either the subject line of the message to which you want to reply or to something which explains what your mail has as topic. "Freedos-user digest, Vol 1 #287 - 1 msg" does not tell me anything about what the mail might contain. Eric PS: To stop typing in "copy con..." mode, press F6 or Ctrl-Z (and before and after that, hit the return or enter key). ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Sybase ASE Linux Express Edition - download now for FREE LinuxWorld Reader's Choice Award Winner for best database on Linux. http://ads.osdn.com/?ad_id=5588&alloc_id=12065&op=click _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
