ROM-DOS Internal Commands 4-59
R E M ( R E M a r k )
Batch File, Internal Command
The REM command has two purposes: to allow comments in a batch or
CONFIG.SYS file, and to temporarily disable a command without
physically deleting the command from the file. See also the (;) command.
Syntax
REM [message]
Remarks
The REM command provides information but has no affect on the
execution of the batch file.
The comment may consist of any set of characters. You may also create
a blank line by omitting the
message portion of the line.
REM can also be used to temporarily disable a command in a batch file or
CONFIG.SYS without having to delete the line from the file.
Example s
REM This batch file created by
REM Jane Doe
These lines may be added at any point in a batch file as user information
only.
DEVICE=HIMEM.SYS
DOS=HIGH
REM DEVICE=TESTDEV.SYS /P
Temporarily removes the DEVICE=TESTDEV.SYS statement from these
CONFIG.SYS instructions. This statement is not processed again until
REM is removed.
