- Hi, I have written an application (using Borland C) which spawns
- DOS upon request by the user (using spawnl). Everything works great
- but I would like to display a reminder to the user with each DOS prompt
- so he does'nt forget he is in a spawned DOS process (similar to way
- Word Perfect does this). For example, after spawning DOS the user would
- see:
-
- <Type EXIT to return to program> <--this would appear
- each time <RET> hit
- C:\
-
- Is there, perhaps, a parameter to COMMAND.COM to do this?
