    does it has to be a BATch file? i know there is a command in batch to find file and a way but i dont know it on the top on my head...

    in a DOS based windows (95/98), just open msdos.sys and it's written the WinDir path.. but, it changes with the language like in english, C:\Windows\Desktop, in french: C:\Windows\Bureau....

    U can use the path variable in DOS but, it needs to be setted in windows or something

    I believe you can type export or env or environment, something to that matter, to see all the currently declared variables. You can access them through %VARIABLENAME% in a batch file. Though, I may have it mixed up with Linux somewhere. YMMV =)

    new questions

    1. How can I keep a MSDOS window open with a txt file printed in it.

    2. Is there a way to make a msgbox in msdos?

    3. Any good MSDOS tutorials somewhere?

    well, to print a text file u use the TYPE command

    Type MyFile.Txt

    to leave it open, u dont put the exit command in the batch file. this depends on the user's setting too. in the PIF file of ms-dos prompt so, u can do something like that:


    @Echo Off
    Type MyFile.txt
    Echo Press a key to exit
    Pause > Nul
    Exit

    ---

    no u cant display a windows message box from a BATch file. I dunno if u can from a C/C++ for DOS application. (( correct me if i'm wrong ))

    ---

    Good tutorials: go on google, type

    "MS-DOS" +Toturial

    and look thru the results
