    I'm famous for that amongst friends. it is easy to do interactively, easier in fact.

    Applogies then.

    Still curious why you are going about it the hard way.

    Autoexec doesn't run for any of the non-DOS based operating systems (NT, 2000, XP, etc).

    Some programs can be activated by using the redirected input "key" (<). I don't think that FORMAT can use this method, but here's an example:

    FORMAT < YES.DAT

    And YES.DAT is just a simple file with a "y" and a carriage return.
