Re: very slow cursor in CMD window w/Text editor?

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Dunno what's happening there but try this.

Make a copy of "command.com", rename it to Command.txt and open it with Notepad, then scroll about 2/3 of the way down. Exit is listed along with the other embedded commands.

Hi Bob. That's very strange. I just tried it again.
I removed the NTCMDPROMPT command from autoexec.nt;
started the editor;
did a shell out to DOS prompt;
verified COMSPEC=c:\windows\system32\command.com
ran the xxp.bat;
it echos the single line, exit;
then back to the prompt

When NTCMDPROMPT is put back into autoexec.nt
doing the same thing verifies that comspec=c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe
then the xxp.bat Works.

So that's all I know.
Gremlins, I guess? :-/

I think I saw something about using quotes or even a single preceding quote, but I tried that and it didn't work?
cd 'c:\documents and settings

Another curious thing is that an x.bat file containing EXIT, will exit
from a CMD prompt but not from command.com.


exit works on a "command" bat file here.

True, Bob.

But try:
cd C:\Documents and Settings
instead of
cd C:\DOCUME~1
in command.com. ;-)
