HoboBen	Created : 20 January 2007 Edited : 24 February 2007 System : Windows Language : QBasic (Less) Simple BAT command promt Command prompt bat file.
Updated - XPrompt 0.4.6.3 MS DOS BATCH file. Save as "xprompt.bat" My command prompt code has been updated to contain a few more features, which although aren't that important, demonstrate the expandability of this method of doing the command prompt from a batch script. I plan to add more extended functions later.

skypenguin	Hoboben, I don't mean to embarrass you but, if you open notepad and type in command.com then save it as anything.bat, then you have a mini command prompt. Much easier if you ask me.

magicman	this could be useful. sadly this site is blocked at school so i will have to memorize it or somthing.
Sunday, 21 January 2007, 12:19
HoboBen	Cheers, skypenguin... I didn't know that. I'm glad to have learned - and I'll try that too. Magicman - try to exploit a bug in some versions of Websense (if that's what you're using) by accessing this site as www.socoder.co.nr/?b=0 The dynamic php variable at the end, even though it's meaningless, fools some censors. If that doesn't work, I'll post the link to an IP based web proxy that I have saved in my school account's files somewhere.

magicman	well, iv decided that proxys arnt a very good idea anymore, they have been cracking down on them pretty heavly, all the ones that people use to use have been blocked and people have gotten in trouble, so now its purely up to hacking. ill try the socoder.co.nr/?b=0. it use to be i could get on here, but then when we changed servers it says the phoenixoft.com has porn.....

garand	bad pheonix....... bad bad bad. lol (Websense needs to die) (And Novell) (and Zangle) (and that it)

Jayenkai	It says WHAT!? Phoenix....!!

power mousey	hey, thanks pengy. I didn't know. I typed in command.com and saved the file as penguin.bat I then double clicked the batch file. It ran with the Dos box and command prompt. Wowzie, I did't know that. cheers, power mousey

HoboBen	Hey, I noticed the one skypenguin suggested used DOS filename systems rather than legible windows ones... So, if you have all the time in the world, mine is cooler.
Monday, 22 January 2007, 08:37
Jayenkai	Instead of command.com, just try cmd That gives you WinXP-DOS instead of Ye-Olde DOS
Monday, 22 January 2007, 09:26
power mousey	whether cooler or not, I like skypenguins. Faster and easier. And even Jays suggestion is even quicker and easier than skypenguins. true. yet and however, yours is more original and involves code. so some kudos for you. cheers hobo, power mousey
Monday, 22 January 2007, 10:09
HoboBen	Cheers, mousey. And thanks, Jay... Yup, I've learnt a bit from this. Thanks again skypenguin, too.

power mousey	sheesh!, um where is my smiley? where is my smiley? though, I'd rather have a couple of rounds of Zima with you. well, I shouldn't ask you...as well as on other things too. I guess. Like on some other things...whenver you want and like.
Tuesday, 23 January 2007, 09:18
HoboBen	Oh, gosh, I'm sorry... I forogt to ": - )" my cheers. I was probably reading or replying to your e-mails at the time though... sending e-mails packed full of extra smilies. Maybe that'll make up for it. Cheers, mousey

HoboBen	Updated with new version. It's ready to be expanded with extra functions.
