PROMPT $E[8m as the first line of the AUTOEXEC.BAT then cls for the next line to clear the screen. It take only about half a second to execute and leaves the screen blank until you reset the prompt again. Another method is to do a cls after the `echo off' this allows printing of other remarks, etc. to be printed to the screen. Chris.... turek@brl-tbd.arpa CAT@BRL
