      some help with DOS?

      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 
      COPY CON USRINPUT.TMP
      ECHO 
      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=COS71ANSI.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 )

      In MS-DOS Edit hit ctrl+p then Escape to make the escape-char.
