You don't need to add a "@" at the beginning of each line, just start the file with "@echo off" and the subsequent commands will be muted --until you should add a "echo on" line, don't ask me why you'd want to. I'm not completely sure of what you want, is it just to display "IT WORKS!" and then get back to the DOS prompt? If so try this:
Code:
@echo off
cls
echo IT WORKS!
echo.
The "echo." is a blank line, otherwise the prompt would appear ugly just below "IT WORKS!" without separation, you can insert as many as you like.
You can find extensive help about DOS batch files, basic stuff like that and advanced features like variables, parameters, "if" sentences, "for" loops, etc. in HELP.COM + HELP.HLP.
