q1: i ran it and it shows up fine, if i misunderstood, show us what you would like it to say

q2: use something like this

if %errorlevel% == 0 GOTO :fine else GOTO :error

:error
echo eets not okay mon
GOTO :EOF

:fine
echo eets okay mon

q3: you'll need a program that can show a pic & runs in the dos environment you're using. surely google can help you there

Use %% instead of % in your cmd script.

oops. he's right. i only tried it from the command line.

Q1: You can also use ^%

the ^ omits the next character from being considered as a variable in a dos command.

Q2: What he said ^^

Q3: What he said again. You'd need a program that will decode the jpg or bmp you are trying to view that runs in MS DOS.

Thanx for all
