For batch file use:
Use a word processor or any text editor to insert text into batchscr.txt and
put a type command in your autoexec.bat file as in the following example.
@echo off
cls
path c:\;c:\dos;c:\norton
prompt $P$G
be sa green blue
type batchscr.txt
Note: If you have Norton Utilities on your hard drive, you can use the
command "be sa foreground color background color" to add color
when in dos. Make sure your config.sys has the command
device = \dos\ansi.sys.
QuickBasic users:
You will notice when you assign different colors to each box that all
the boxes default to the most recent color assignment. This will not
happen when you merge the output code into your program.
Once you merge the code and run the program, each box will have its
properly assigned color with the background color defaulting to the
background of the last box of a multibox screen.
For newcomers to QuickBasic, make a new sub and use the merge command
to import screen.txt code into the sub, and add a CLS statement at the
beginning of the code and a DO : LOOP WHILE INKEY$ = "" at the
end of the code to stop the screen from scrolling by so fast you don't
see it.
Have Fun !!
