All three methods of entering escape sequence work in Edit.exe v0.7d. However, you have to remember that Echo and Eecho work properly only when run at startup (they are placed in Config.sys). If you just want to test the colours from the command line or from a test batch file you have to use Prompt.
For Edit.exe v0.7d the escape code is generated when you hit Esc key. The code character looks like a small left arrow. Echo and Eecho are executed just after Nansi.sys so the command line should be entered right there. Here is the summary of all three methods (the parameters are set for green characters on blue background): 1) Config.sys ECHO esc_code[32;44m rem hit Esc key to generate escape code 2) Config.sys EECHO $[32;44m 3) Autoexec.bat or command line or a test batch file PROMPT $E[32;44m$P$G The colour codes are s follows: 30-37 foreground black /red/green/yellow/blue/magenta/cyan/white 40-47 background black/red/green/yellow/blue/magenta/cyan/white Lester -- _______________________________________________ Surf the Web in a faster, safer and easier way: Download Opera 8 at http://www.opera.com Powered by Outblaze ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
