- INTRODUCTION
- ------------
-
- The purpose of this program is to be able to use DOS's PROMPT command.
-
- The prompt is what you see right before the cursor normally in DOS. Your
- prompt may look like one of the following now:
- C:>
- C:\>
-
- This program will allow you to customize your prompt with colors,
- the current time, current date and more!
-

-
- INSTALLATION
- ------------
-
-
- This program requires that ANSI.SYS be active on your computer. This program
- comes with DOS. If you already have ANSI.SYS in your CONFIG.SYS file there is
- no need to add it again. To install this program, add a line to your
- CONFIG.SYS file (which is usually in your root directory).
- Enter the following commands:
- COPY CONFIG.SYS+CON
- DEVICE=C:\DOS\ANSI.SYS
- ^Z
- If your DOS files aren't in your C:\DOS directory, replace C:\DOS with the
- directory your DOS is in.
-

- PROGRAM USAGE
- -------------
-
- To load the ProPrompt program, at the DOS prompt type:
- PRO115.EXE <ENTER>
-
- You will then be prompted for the next item to put in your prompt. You have
- 8 options. Selections 1-7 are special options such as current date or
- current DOS directory. Selection 8 will allow you to enter text.
-
- When you pick most items, you will be prompted for the color of the item.
- You will have selections A-H in the unregistered version. Hit Q to use
- the color used on last item.
-
- To exit to DOS, hit Q. When you return to DOS, your prompt will not be
- installed. To install the prompt, type PRMPT at the DOS prompt, ex:
- PRMPT <ENTER>
-
-

-
- COMMON PROBLEMS
- ---------------
-
- Some common problems are:
-
- I finished the prompt but now I can't get it to display
- Solution: You have to type PRMPT immediately after you exit ProPrompt
-
- I get the prompt but see strange letters/characters.
- Solution: ANSI.SYS isn't installed. Refer to your DOS manual for installation
- of ANSI.SYS.
-
- ProPrompt says "Invalid Selection" at the Build Screen.
- Solution: Read the menu of choices (1-8 and Q) listed at the top of the screen
- and pick a listed selection.
-
- ProPrompt sends me back to DOS in the middle of my prompt.
- Solution: Your prompt was too big. Make a smaller prompt next time.
-
- When I try to install the prompt, DOS says "Out of environment Space"
- Solution: Your prompt is too big and/or you don't have enough ram memory. Try
- making a smaller prompt.

- ADVANCED FEATURES
- -----------------
-
- It is possible to load a ProPrompt prompt every time you turn on the computer.
- To do this, the first step is to find your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Then
- copy the PRMPT.BAT file that ProPrompt creates onto the drive/directory
- where AUTOEXEC.BAT is. Next, copy the AUTOEXEC.BAT to AUTOEXEC.BAK just in
- case something goes wrong. Then enter this command:
- COPY PRMPT.BAT+AUTOEXEC.BAK AUTOEXEC.BAT
- Now reset your computer and if this procedure worked, you will have your
- ProPrompt prompt installed automatically!
