Summary: Use ANSI.SYS


If you are using ANSI.SYS or some variant, you can say:

	echo off
	echo *[A*[K*[2A		* = <escape>

What this does is does is to back up a line and erase the "echo off" that
MS-DOS so kindly left behind.  So it's a KLUDGE...flame Microsoft, not me!

The number and placement of the up-line commands (<esc>[A) may need to be
adjusted for different version of MS-DOS, the above is for NBI's version of
2.11.

Use the debugger to create the first copy of this "program", thereafter,
you can prepend it using your favorite editor.

Happy Hacking!
