@PROMPT $E[31;44m [DRS-ME] $P$G This in autoexec will give a blue background with red lettering and will display your current dir with DRS-ME as a prompt The numbers 31 & 44 control the colors valide numbers are 30 thru 35 and 40 thru 45

Oops forgot to mention you do have to have ansi loaded via the config
