I am wanting to add a line to an edited autoexec.bat of a Win98 Boot Floppy. Example: after calling restart.com, I need a line that returns to the next line of code in the Autoexec.bat that is called after the computer reboots.
Thanks

If I understand you want

1- Autoexec.bat executes till the Restart.com
2- The PC reboots
3- This time the Autoexec.bat has to start with the line just after the Restart.com

As the boot process wipes out the previous environment, a way to achieve that is to set a flag file, i.e.

@Echo OFF
If exist AutoFlag GoTo :REBOOT
.......
.......
Echo REBOOT > AutoFlag
Restart.com
Rem PC Reboots
:REBOOT
Del AutoFlag
......

So next time you will use the floppy your Autoexec.bat will work correctly again.

The above posted if I have understood.
