is there away that if the command line interpreter that when it gets to the bottom of the screen then it goes back to a set co-orinate or any other methods of making it keep scrolling

Well, if you keep issueing
it will keep you scrolling, If that's what you mean.

If you want to set cursor to a pre-set coordinate you need to load ANSI.SYS in CONFIG.SYS and use ANSI commands. The bad news is ANSI.SYS don't cohabitate well with Windows...

Probably you can find DOS command enhancers doing the same thing with less trouble...

Should I read co-urinate? :rotfl:

There is a program called ANSI.COM that you can load while in DOS, or a DOS window, and it works just like ANSI.SYS. (available here: http://www.xs4all.nl/~robw/files/ansi.zip)
and a good place for ANSI info is here: http://www.robvanderwoude.com/ansi.html

you could then make a DOS prompt like this


I've been messing around with some of my OLD batch files that I used to use. That were basically a more friendly interface than DOS for loading things like win 3.1 or one of the games that I had installed on my 500K HD.

I think he means that when he prints on the 25th line in the text mode the whole screen scrolls up. He wants to prevent that.

I had a prog which used to prevent that. But I dont seem to find it.

This scrolling can't be prevented by normal batch programming, so better find that file...

But I remember that there was a program that could prevent this scrolling.

i really need that file so please find it

PLEASE

I tried searching for the file but I have failed to locate it.

I'll keep my search going on. Till then try posting at qbasic.com, qb45.org and search for files there.
