I'd like to learn how to write a batch file to bring up the Command prompt (C>:) within a screen within my Windows 98 environment.

Thank you.

just stick one line containing cmd.exe into your .bat file, and that will execute command interpreter window ( aka dos window )

Actually it's command.com. cmd is for WinNT/2k.
