Tips for using Batch File Compiler Professional Edition

While editing your batch files you will notice the code changing colors when using the extra (extended) commands:
GREEN for REM *Comments
ORANGE for GOTO and :Labels
BLUE for commands spelt properly and with the correct amount of options (or arguments) used
PURPLE for commands spelt properly, but without the correct number of options
RED for misspelled extended commands
GRAY for extended commands not included in the demo
Please note BFC PE adds color keys based on the number or arguments entered after an extra command. BFC PE does NOT check for the correct data type.
Open and look through the example batch files included in the BFC PE install folder.
When using an extended command, put a REM statement in front of the function like the example below:
REM PrintColor This text will be printed in red with a white background 4 15
NOTE - If you don't use a REM statement, the extended command will not work properly and if you save to a batch file, the batch file will cause errors.
To add a comment in the batch file, (notice the * before the comments) the text will turn green
REM *Comment goes here
Be sure not to use any commands that may require user input while the compiled batch file is hiding
Use PrintColor in Windows98 and Millenium Edition as ChangeColor and ClearColor only work for WinNT/2000/XP.
PrintColor does not print a "return" after it prints to the screen. This is so you can print more than one color on a line without having to use Locate. Simply use PrintReturn to start at the next line.
Use ChangeColor when using PaintScreen to change the text background color same background color
Batch file windows are 80 spaces in width and 25 spaces in height.
To close the window when a batch file finishes executing, simply put a CLS (clear screen) statement at the end of the batch file.
If the windows closes before you can see any text on the screen, put a PAUSE (press any key to continue) statement at the end of the batch file.
