i had an old laptop lying around so i decided to muck around with dos a bit...
according to this page, the code below does what i want at this stage.
ECHO Enter some input, and press Enter when ready . . .
ECHO [13;0;64;13p
COPY CON USRINPUT.TMP
ECHO [13;13p
CLS
ECHO You typed:
TYPE USRINPUT.TMP
my problem is that i'm confused about how to make the escape symbol,() and the whole escape sequence in general.
i already have DEVICE=C:DOS71ANSI.SYS in CONFIG.SYS...
someone please help me and point me in the right direction!
PS: is there a better way to do this without usuing COPY CON and ANSI.SYS?
(i'm so n00b.. i've tried though :P)
