Regarding the recent question about the MODE command in
DOS...
I got the following information off the website, EasyDOS
Command Index, at
http://www.csulb.edu/~murdock/mode.htmlMODE(External)
MODE n MODE LPT#[:][n][,][m][,][P][retry] MODE [n],m[,T] MODE (displaytype,linetotal) MODE COMn[:]baud[,][parity][,][databits][,][stopbits][,][retry] MODE LPT#[:]=COMn [retry] MODE CON[RATE=(number)][DELAY=(number)] MODE (device) CODEPAGE PREPARE=(codepage) [d:][path]filename MODE (device) CODEPAGE PREPARE=(codepage list) [d:][path]filename MODE (device) CODEPAGE SELECT=(codepage) MODE (device) CODEPAGE [/STATUS] MODE (device) CODEPAGE REFRESH So, it appears, David, that you don't need a colon in the command and it
should then read:
mode con rate=32 delay=1
This command sets both the typematic rate, the rate at which the characters
are repeated when you hold down the key and the delay, the time (in quarters of
a second) that the character starts repeating after you initially press the
key.
Hope this helps.
