Hi, I have a batch file for msdos. I'd like write a text like "welcome to my computer" but like a typewriter, where every character is typed at an interval. How can i do it? Thanks in advance... Sarpedon

You will need a program that will display the text one character at a time with a delay between each.

Which program?

I would use BASIC.

Unfortunately, i don't know BASIC Programming language..

I am working on a basic program that I will email to you when finished.

Its not too hard, its pretty 'basic' actually. This should bring the text on onto the screen one letter at a time: CLS welcome$ = "Welcome to my computer!" N = LEN(welcome$) FOR x = 1 TO N PRINT MID$(welcome$, x, 1); t = TIMER DO: LOOP WHILE TIMER - t < .2 NEXT x END All you have to do is download BASIC (pretty much any version, I think, though best bet would probably be a later version of QuickBasic so that you can easily turn it into an exec) and insert that code. Then, if you want it to be executable as a stand alone thing like a batch file, you just have to convert the .BAS to an .exe (of course dont just rename it but rather you have to truly convert it.) Good luck, Larry PS- It would probably make more sense for this question to be asked in a 'Prgramming' forum. You'd probably get more experienced answers.
