90 Allegro DOS Owner’s Manual

The CONFIG.SYS fi le can also contain the following special
characters:

; Specifi es that the current line is a descriptive comment and should

not be carried out. Insert this character at the beginning of the line.
(You can also insert a comment by using the REM command.)

? Specifi es that DOS is to ask for confi rmation before carrying

out the current command. Insert this character immediately
after the command you want to prompt for, without any
intervening spaces, but before the equal sign (=). For example,
to have MS-DOS ask for confi rmation before carrying out the
DOS=HIGH command, you would change the command to
read: DOS?=HIGH. To have MS-DOS ask for confi rmation
before carrying out the DEVICEHIGH /L:1,7280=MYFILE.SYS
command, you would change the command to read as follows:

DEVICEHIGH?

/L:1,7280=MYFILE.SYS
