In MS-DOS 6.22, to add colors to characters, you can use the `COLOR` command. The command format is `COLOR [attr]`, where `attr` is a combination of a background color and a foreground color. For example, to make the characters red on a black background, you can use `COLOR 40` (where 4 is the foreground color code for red and 0 is the background color code for black). To make the characters green on a black background, you can use `COLOR 20` (where 2 is the foreground color code for green and 0 is the background color code for black).

Load ansi.sys For specific details, please search online by yourself.

Loading ANSI.SYS can change the character color, but is that temporary? As long as you do a CLS, it returns to the original color!

I didn't set up CONFIG.SYS. I just wanted to control the font color in the batch processing, and I figured it out yesterday. Thanks to everyone. I used the ECHO command.
