Title:      "Color-Coded DOS Prompts"
Reference:  PC World March 1990
Author:     Jim De Fabia
Files:      C.DOC, C.BAT

If your system has several drives, use batch commands similar to
those in C.BAT to color-code your DOS prompt to show A:\> in
magenta, C:\> in yellow, and other drives in other colors. You can
accomplish this with a set of batch files, one per drive, that
contain PROMPT commands to change the prompt's color.

Store C.BAT and your own similar files in a subdirectory listed in a
PATH statement. Then, type C and press <Enter> to log onto the C:
drive and also turn the prompt to magenta. For other drives, copy the
batch file to another name, replace C: with the desired drive letter
and the 35 in the PROMPT command with another color code from those
listed below. You need a color display, of course, and your
CONFIG.SYS file must contain the command DEVICE=ANSI.SYS. Never set
the display color to the same color as the background (usually black
(30)), or you may lose the ability to see any text on screen.
