OBJECTIVE: I would like FREE DOS to immediately boot up with a specific color setting and stay consistent regardless of what commands are later used METHOD (1) MENUCOLOR OPTION Unfortunately, as with MS DOS & PC DOS, I have discovered that the MENUCOLOR setting in FREE DOS reverts back to its default setting (gray text, black background) whenever the user executes the CLS (clear the screen) command Question: Does anyone know of any work around solution to this issue ?? For example, (1) Is there something else that you can do to prevent the CLS command from changing the MENUCOLOR setting (2) The main reason why I use the CLS command (mostly in batch files) is to rid the screen of previous text so that only new text will show when said new text is displayed Does anyone have any ideas as to how to accomplish the same result without using the CLS command ?? METHOD (2) ANSI.SYS This method provides a 100 % constant color setting (not effected by later commands such as CLS) but I have never been able to get the desired setting to activate until I type in my very first command which needless to say comes after the config.sys & autoexec.bat runs - so I can't get the computer to immediately boot up with the desired color setting Does anyone know of any work around solution to this issue ?? METHOD (3) SOME OTHER UTILITY ??? Thank you in advance for your replys
