The following special CONFIG.SYS commands are used only to define

The CONFIG.SYS file can also contain the following special characters:
; Specifies 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.)
? Specifies that DOS is to ask for confirmation 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
confirmation before carrying out the DOS=HIGH command, you
would change the command to read: DOS?=HIGH. To have MS-DOS
ask for confirmation 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
