Command
Type
Purpose
The REM command has two purposes: to allow comments in a batch or
CONFIG.SYS Þle, and to temporarily disable a command without physically
deleting the command from the Þle. See also the ; command.
Syntax
REM [ message ]
Remarks
The REM command provides information for the user but has no effect on the
execution of the batch Þle.
The comment may be made up of any set of characters. A blank line can also be
created by omitting the message portion of the line.
REM can also be used to temporarily disable a command in a batch Þle or
CONFIG.SYS, without having to delete the line from the Þle. For CONFIG.SYS
Þles, the semicolon (;) can also be used in place of the REM command.
Examples
REM This batch file created by
REM T.J. Sherrill
These lines could be added at any point in a batch Þle as user information only.
DEVICE=HIMEM.SYS
DOS=HIGH
REM DEVICE=TESTDEV.SYS /P
The DEVICE=TESTDEV.SYS statement has been temporarily removed from these
CONFIG.SYS instructions. This statement will not be processed again until REM is
removed.
