suppress blinking cursor in a cmd -file

#1 Post by Javamatic » 13 Feb 2013 14:31

I've made a dos script file , see here beneath the last few sentences from this batch file ;

echo.
echo press any key to close this dos box...
echo.
echo.
echo.
pause >nul

On the end of this file there is still a blinking cursor on the screen.-..
May there is a way to suppress this blinking cursor after pause > nul ?

Second question ; may there is a way to remove the vertical scrollbar of the doxbox ?

Third question ; is there a way to change the lettertype in a dos script ?

thanks in advance !

I should like to change the color of the blinking dos prompt.
If this is possible , then i can make the color of the prompt the same as the

May someone can help me ?

You may hide the cursor with my CursorSize.exe auxiliary program:
CursorSize.exe description wrote:Get or set cursor size.

CursorSize [size|/L]

The cursor size is a percentage (1..100) of the character cell that is filled by the cursor.
Use 0 to hide the cursor; use /L to recover the last hidden cursor.

Look for program 10-CursorSize.exe.hex at this post.
