Answer 1

You should download chgcolor.zip from http://www.mailsend-online.com/blog/setting-text-color-in-a-batch-file.html and also download echoj.zip from www.mailsend-online.com/blog/?p=41 They're both towards the bottom of the page. Extract both folders to the desktop and copy the executables(.exe files) from inside the extracted folders to the C:\Windows directory. This will allow them to be executed from the command line. Open up notepad and copy the following into it:

@echo off

chgcolor 03

echoj "hi "

chgcolor 0d

echoj "world"

chgcolor 07

echoj $0a

Save the file to the Desktop as hi.bat. Now open the command prompt and navigate to your Desktop folder and type "hi.bat" without the quotes. That should get you started besure to read both webpages to get a full tutorial.
