    Autoexec.bat ***help***
    « on: November 30, 2008, 08:11:39 PM »
    My autoexec.bat reads

    cd scitex
    go print

    when it opens my program it is pink.  I think it loads to quick. 

    When I change it to

    cd scitex
    pause
    go print

    It loads properly but it prompts me to press any key.  I tried using a ping command to replace the pause but no sucess.  My question is what will slow down the autoexec.bat to load properly?
