Re: [Freedos-user] ECHO vs @ECHO

Oh, one more thing... It could also possibly be a one-liner, like so: echo off | vgotoxy up | vecho /n /e But, it will display all of that before erasure. Also, I have no idea if there would be compatibility issues under some DOS platforms or their different versions. But, it works fine in Fr
