Thanks. I just got done doing battle with DOS. I was victorious, and I
was able to overcome the fact that the DOS HELP command doesn't support
saving copies of the documents to disk. Hehehe. I renamed QBASIC.HLP
to QBASIC.BAK and HELP.HLP (or DOS.HLP?) to QBASIC.HLP, and then I
started Qbasic and searched for hel on Config. I browsed through the
links to finally wind up with ANSI.SYS/Syntax. I clipped out the part
that covers colors and cursor relocation, saved it to disk, touched it
up, and printed it.
Now I have a nice reference! I can email it to all who ask for it.
What happens if I use high-bit characters? I'd like to do a cool text
mode graphic, but the standard text characters are a bit limiting.
By the way, I got the reference so I could make a snazzy motd.
If I want to make it truly pretty, I suppose I have to edit the login
command's source code so that it does whatever I want. But that's too
much work. For now.
