Clarification: What people were suggesting when they say to sit in command.com instead of .cmd is that: The blink occurs upon transition either from a 32bit program to a 16bit program, or vice versa. That is, if you are in cmd, and run a 16bit app such as ls, either starting it and/or exiting it will "blink". Since cmd is 32bit and you'd be transition from it to ls to start ls and from ls to cmd upon ls ending. So a solution, if you can find a tolerable 16 command line editor, is to sit in a 16 bit shell. Such as command.com, or bash, or 4dos. command.com might be a little funny and not seem to work. Look at \windows\system32\autoexec.nt or \windows\system32\config.nt maybe for settings to "help". (and what are those ntdos.sy and ntio.sys files..hm..) > DJGPP images run under a DOS virtual session, and it only supports > certain screen sizes. Try a standard DOS screen size 25x80, 43x80, > 50x80; and see if the flicker is more tolerable. The blink happens > when the scroll-back screen buffer is cleared. Aha! Thanks. mode con cols=80 lines=24 ? - Jay
