Unfortunately you didn't say what version PC-DOS you are using.  IT DOES MAKE
A DIFFERENCE.

For PC-DOS 3.10, here are two different ways of supposidly doing it:

1. DEBUG COMMAND.COM
   -E 1967<cr>
   xxxx:1967  01.00<cr>
   -W<cr>
   -Q<cr>

   Note 1:  The default for AUTOEXEC.BAT files will still be ECHO OFF.
   Note 2:  If the last thing done in a .BAT file is to do ECHO ON, then
            you will get two prompts at exit.

2. DEBUG COMMAND.COM
   -E 105B<cr>
   xxxx:105B  03.02<cr>
   -W<cr>
   -Q<cr>

REMEMBER:  the above is for PC-DOS 3.10
