I don't understand why you want to elimate the prompt... C:\ is a symbol of the great DOS

Anyway, I'm very happy to see someone still "playing" with DOS k:

The point would be that I would create this menu where you can choose by typing you choosing like this:

--

1. Choose option 1
2. Choose option 2
3. Choose option 2
4. Cancel

Please type your command

--

It would be kind of fake menu.

That's very possible with the "choose" command, followed by "if" with "errorlevel" etc. Check out DOS's HELP as I told you.

isn't it choice?
check this example out:

:Menu
@cls
@echo ------------------------------------
@echo -**********************************-
@echo - Worms: United And Reinforcements -
@echo -**********************************-
@echo ------------------------------------
@echo ************************
@echo ****1. Run Worms
@Echo ****2. Multiplayer Menu
@Echo ****3. Exit
@echo ************************
@choice /c:321 /N Select Option:
@Cls
@if errorlevel 3 Goto game
@if errorlevel 2 goto mm
@if errorlevel 1 goto Quit
@Goto Quit

:game
@cls
@%cd%\bin\black.exe
@SET dos4g=quiet
@SET wormscfg=%cd%\worms.cfg
@SET wormscd=%cd%
@wait
@%cd%\bin\wrms

:mm
@cls
@echo ------------------------------------
@echo -**********************************-
@echo - Worms: United And Reinforcements -
@echo -******** Multiplayer Menu******** -
@echo -**********************************-
@echo ------------------------------------
@echo.
@echo 1. IPX equipped network
@echo 2. Serial Connection (Null Modem)
@echo 3. Modem Connection
@echo 4. Exit and play single-terminal Worms...
@echo 5. Quit
@echo.
@
@choice /c:54321 /N Select mode... 
@cls
if errorlevel 5 goto lan
if errorlevel 4 goto serial
if errorlevel 3 goto modem
if errorlevel 2 goto menu
if errorlevel 1 goto quit
@goto quit
pause

(taken from my re-write of the worms united and reinforcements batch file)
take what you can from it since it actually works pretty well on worms :P

Oh well it's been so long I didn't remember right...

[Mighty Midget]

A menu? Well, I don't recall exactly, but if you create a rescue boot disc in win, it will come with a menu. Try to create one and look at the file. I did it to create a boot disc where I could choose EMS and CD-ROM enabled/disabled.

[Japo]

There's a special syntax for multiple configurations in CONFIG.SYS, DOS's HELP.COM has explanations for this and also for the general case with CHOICE, IF, ERRORLEVEL, etc.

Oh, I remember the good old times when I was used to make the same things! :w00t:
It's really simple once you look an example or the help

Used to do something like that with Autoexec.bat and Config.sys on my old DOS machine... mainly because Flashback needed a huge amount of base memory.

I remember the times when games used to crash because the RAM had to be cleared with t3h 1337 memmaker.exe!!!! LOL
Then you could play again for another 90 minutes until the next crash!!! :ranting: LOL
