OK. Thanks. I read this after writing the e-mail asking about where to put the backslash, but now I get it.

The resulting prompt is C:\> You don't say what it is that you want to type at the DOS prompt so I am not clear why you want to retreat to the root directory. I am not even sure that is what you are wanting to do... On the other hand, if you are just wanting to eliminate the copyright info at the top of the window, at the DOS prompt you can type cls and then press enter. When you want to close the DOS window, execute the EXIT command from a batch file or by typing exit at the DOS prompt and then pressing enter. hth Bob ----- Original Message ----- From: "Vicki" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "JAW'S Users" <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, February 02, 2008 1:11 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] dos command prompt When typing the cmd command in the run option, how do you make sure you are at the C: prompt and nothing is written after that prompt? If there is something written there, how do you get rid of it? I'm trying to enter the text at the c: prompt, but something else appears to be there, and I can't get it out of the c: prompt area. Hope this makes sense.
