- Here's another nifty use for ALT-255:
-
- In batch files,
-
- echo_
-
- where _ is ALT-255, will print a blank line on the screen.
- This is useful if you want to separate your output messages.
- And it works from DOS 2.11 and up!
-
- The tricky thing, though, is to find an editor which will
- let you enter it--not all do! Of course, copy con batch.bat
- *will* work. :^)
-
- Later,
