- Documentation for ASK.COM
-
- ASK.COM Version 1.10, (C)Copyright T A Davis, 1983
-
-
- This program is an enhancement to the batch environment for DOS 2.00
- To use ask, include a line in your batch file like 'ASK Continue ? '
- The operating system will display 'Continue ? ' on the default output
- device and wait for a keypress from the keyboard. If any character
- besides Y,y,N,n is pressed, the program will display 'Y/N ? ' and
- wait for another keypress. Upon entering a valid key, the program will
- set ERRORLOEVEL to 0 or 1 depending on whether Yy or Nn was pressed.
-
- As a further enhancement to earlier versions, now if ASK (C/R) is included
- the program will supply a prompt of 'Press Y or N ? '
-
- To interogate ERRORLEVEL, use a batch file simular to the one listed
- below.
