Default Suppress End of line character in batch filese

There's no harm asking about DOS in a W98 group, but the answers you get may
not apply to COMMAND or CMD running in XP (as turned out to be the case for
your question). So this group might be your best source for answers about
DOS, but you will have to take the answers with a grain of salt when it
comes to using them under XP command interpreters.

But you have provoked some investigation and discovery, and a new www
reference for the topic.

This is a Win98 group.

Yes. I drifted :-}
The logic in posting the group was this:
Was going to do this on my 98 PC, but then had to transfer onto my xp PC;
No response from the XP general group;
No XP dos group;
At the level I work, it's fairly true that dos98 = dosxp;
The dos98 correspondants have always been helpful.

Conclusion - no harm done if I try to get some help off the dos98 group.

Of course I shouldn't have mentioned xp ... never was any good at lying
...

So in truth, this is a sort of general dos question, the solution to which
I would equally apply to Win98 dos as to any other Win dos.
