Dos Prompt Designer is a small shareware utility to design your own
colorful dos prompts. You can design as many prompts as you like, and
they will all be stored in a file so you can choose from any of the
prompts you have designed.
To use DPD just unzip it into the directory you want to keep it in,
and type 'PR'. When you're inside you'll see a screen with a cursor
on one of the lines. You can start typing any characters, or use any
of the keys listed underneath the cursor. These keys are...
[F1] Directory: Insert the directory you are in into your prompt.
This is just like $p in a normal dos prompt.
[F2] Foreground: This changes the current foreground color.
Everything typed or inserted into your prompt will
be displayed in this color. You can change it
throughout your prompt to use more than one different
color in your prompt.
[F3] Background: This changes the current background color.
Everything typed or inserted into your prompt will
be displayed with this background color. You can
change it as much as you want just like with the
foreground color.
[F4] Date: This inserts the current date into your prompt.
(It's updated when the prompt is displayed!) Same
as using $d in your dos prompt.
[F5] Time: This inserts the current time into your prompt.
(Also updated..) Same as using $t in your dos
prompt, but this will remove the seconds/milliseconds
from your prompt. (In dos it will show 12:33:24.55,
but with this it will show only 12:33).
[F6] Choose prompt: This exits the editor and allows you to select from
all the prompts you have previosly made.
To delete prompts you've already made and don't want in your data file,
just edit the file using any text editor and remove the line that has the
prompt you don't want. (May be hard to find it)
If you find ANY BUGS in this program or have any comments, suggestions,
etc.. LEAVE ME INTERNET MAIL at
71251.2122@Compuserve.Com
or a message in FidoNet, or WorldNet or any bbs that I am on in Edmonton,
Alberta. (Area code 403)
To automatically load up one of your prompts at startup, you can either
run PR.EXE in your AUTOEXEC.BAT, and then choose one through the 'chooser'
or edit the DATA.BAT file and copy the line of the prompt you want into
your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. In the registered version, you can automatically
load up the Prompt Chooser with the command line. See REGISTER.FRM for
more information!
In the registered version, to load a previously made prompt, type
PR /C and that will take you into the choosing mode.
Running DATA.BAT will automatically load the last prompt you created
using Dos Prompt Designer
