hello,
i tried this (ansi.sys)
http://www.frontiernet.net/~fys/clrsdos.htm

but dos reiniciate on black background and only the c:\ and what i wil wright got the background blue , and i wanted to start it with the backgorund all blue already and not when i wright.. possible? using DOS (win98) but i start directly to DOS (don´t use the win)

i also find something about menucolor command
but wasn´t successed too (what do we have to right with this "menucolor" and where?

Did you use the proper syntax loading/using ANSI.SYS? You can find the instructions for use on the 98 CD under the \tools\oldmsdos\help.com utility. This will run the old msdos help program. Once open, click on ANSI.SYS.

"Menucolor" is used for the msdos startup menu which is created by you in Config.sys. (It only applies to the menu itself, and won't carry on past the first screen change (running a program/utility and using the ENTER key).

It's a good day when you learn something

i puted this on config.sys
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\ANSI.SYS

and this on autoexect.bat

@echo off
echo ESC[1;37;44m

where ESC on my pc and following that site instructions "appear" like a <-

DOs doesn´t start immediately with blue background, just the c:\ and what i will wright , if i make dir or hit enter many times , background ends up being all blue , but when i "come up" form running any program
,its black again and only the c:\ background is blue.

thanks.

Hi nml

I have a old dos file color.exe which sets the colors for you without loading ansi.sys
the syntax is....

COLOR [attr]

attr Specifies color attribute of console output

Color attributes are specified by TWO hex digits -- the first
corresponds to the background; the second the foreground. Each digit
can be any of the following values:

0 = Black 8 = Gray
1 = Blue 9 = Light Blue
2 = Green A = Light Green
3 = Aqua B = Light Aqua
4 = Red C = Light Red
5 = Purple D = Light Purple
6 = Yellow E = Light Yellow
7 = White F = Bright White

If no argument is given, this command restores the color to what it was
when CMD.EXE started. This value either comes from the current console
window, the /T command line switch or from the DefaultColor registry
value.

The COLOR command sets ERRORLEVEL to 1 if an attempt is made to execute
the COLOR command with a foreground and background color that are the
same.

Example: "COLOR fc" produces light red on bright white

Look on the net for it, but if you can't find it, I email it to you.
