Subject: Using Control Codes in Prompt Causes Invalid COMMAND.COM
Date: August 1, 1990
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
CONFIGURATION: NetWare v3.01 shell on an AST 33MHz machine with DOS v4.01
PROBLEM: The user kept getting "System Halted, Invalid COMMAND.COM"
after exiting an application.
SOLUTION: Upon investigation, we found he was using ansi control codes
in his prompt (had a little Texas flag for a prompt). As
soon as he took the ansi string out of his prompt statement,
it worked fine.
