Command: rem
REM records comments (remarks) in a batch file or config.sys.
REM is a BATCH-FILE / AUTOEXEC.BAT command.
Syntax:
REM [comment]
Options:
comment any comment you want to add to remember why you did
this or that; can also be a command, which shall not
be executed (maybe for test purposes).
Comments:
FreeDOS ignores everything on a REM line.
Use remarks to add explanatory notes to the config.sys, and
to disable lines in the config.sys file so that they won't run.
In CONFIG.SYS you can also use ";" at the beginning of the line.
REM is a command internal to command.com and needs no other file
in order to work. REM also exists as CONFIG.SYS / FDCONFIG.SYS
command.
Examples:
IN A .BAT FILE / AUTOEXEC.BAT:
REM Set the last drive letter available:
lastdrive=z
REM I don't want to use this driver any more:
REM DEVICE=FOO.SYS
