INTRODUCTION
------------
The purpose of this program is to be able to use DOS's PROMPT command.
The prompt is what you see right before the cursor normally in DOS. Your
prompt may look like one of the following now:
C:>
C:\>
This program will allow you to customize your prompt with colors,
the current time, current date and more!
INSTALLATION
------------
This program requires that ANSI.SYS be active on your computer. This program
comes with DOS. If you already have ANSI.SYS in your CONFIG.SYS file there is
no need to add it again. To install this program, add a line to your
CONFIG.SYS file (which is usually in your root directory).
Enter the following commands:
COPY CONFIG.SYS+CON
DEVICE=C:\DOS\ANSI.SYS
^Z
If your DOS files aren't in your C:\DOS directory, replace C:\DOS with the
directory your DOS is in.
PROGRAM USAGE
-------------
To load the ProPrompt program, at the DOS prompt type:
PRO131S.EXE <ENTER>
You will then be prompted for the next item to put in your prompt. You have
8 options. Selections 1-7 are special options such as current date or
current DOS directory. Selection 8 will allow you to enter text.
When you pick most items, you will be prompted for the color of the item.
Enter the color you would like or hit Q to use the color used on the last
item.
To exit to DOS, hit Q. When you return to DOS, your prompt will not be
installed. To install the prompt, type PRMPT at the DOS prompt, ex:
PRMPT <ENTER>
COMMON PROBLEMS
---------------
Some common problems are:
Q: I finished the prompt but now I can't get it to display
A: You have to type PRMPT immediately after you exit ProPrompt
Q: I get the prompt but see strange letters/characters.
A: ANSI.SYS isn't installed. Refer to your DOS manual for installation
of ANSI.SYS.
Q: ProPrompt says "Invalid Selection" at the Build Screen.
A: Read the menu of choices (1-8, L and Q) listed at the top of the
screen and pick a listed selection.
Q: ProPrompt sends me back to DOS in the middle of my prompt or DOS says "Out of
Environment Space"
A: Your prompt was too big. Make a smaller prompt next time or change
the ammount of environment space with the COMMAND.COM commandline.
(Refer to DOS manual for further assistance.)
LOADING SAVED PROMPTS
---------------------
To load a saved prompt, type L at the main screen. The filename you specify
will be the name of the file to load. This file should be a file you
saved before with ProPrompt. It can be either a regular batch file or
your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

or send in your registration. Registration provides you with:
