Bestselling Guide to Creating and Using Timesaving Batch Files Now Covers
MS-DOS through Version 6.2

The handy guide from Microsoft Press that's taken the mystery out of the
batch file language for thousands of computer users has been updated to
cover MS-DOS through version 6.2.

The CONCISE GUIDE TO MS-DOS BATCH FILES by Kris Jamsa shows readers how to
create, save, and run simple batch files to customize their systems. No
programming experience or additional software is needed--just this book
and a computer running the MS-DOS operating system.

Batch files save time, reduce keystrokes and errors, simplify the execution
of difficult commands, and can be used again and again. For readers
already familiar with batch files, this book will uncover new uses and
enhancements, such as how to:

* Use the CHOICE command to make batch files interactive
* Create icons that will run batch files from within Microsoft
  Windows
* Use ANSI.SYS to make screen displays more colorful
* Use the DEBUG command to create simple programs that enhance
  batch file capabilities

This book will also teach readers how to create macro definitions using the
DOSKEY command. An extensive table of contents and a comprehensive index
help readers quickly locate information on any topic in the book.
