How to format batch commands in posts to this forum?

#1 Post by Clueless in Seattle » 27 Jun 2012 10:16

Hi again, guys!

Now that I've got my hand-me-down Toshiba laptop working, I figure the next step is to test how well my old config.sys and autoexec.bat files from my old laptop work on this new(er) machine.

Before I go ahead and copy those files onto the new machine I'd be grateful if you'd take a look at them to see if there are any commands that might create problems when run on a different machine.

So I'd like to post the text from those files here.

Before I do that I want to make sure I know the proper way to post the contents of files that contain DOS commands.

I'm guessing that all I need do is mark that text with the "Code" formatting button.

Did I get that right?

Yes. Using the CODE marker will make your codes more readable here on the forum.

Code: Select all

Just to be clear, the code markers are at the start and end of a code block

Code: Select all

[code]
and this is more code
