Relax...

You can make screenshots without enabling the console by pressing Print Screen (PrtSc).
Or you can bind it to any other key, for example "bind ctrl+f12 screenshot".

By the way, it's "set scanline 0", not "scanlines".

Well, some things need some comments.

The dump of the DIR command show diferents items in diferents colors..

SUBDIRECTORIES ---- in the highligh colour ---> by default WHITE
12x4 filenames ---- in the normal text colour ----> by default black.
3x8 old filenames ----- in the error text colour -----> by default Red.

Also the prompt has a independient color ---> by default Red.

At some screenshots you can see how the text is moved to the next line when the window size is not enought.

All the text outlines are manage by 2 functions called FIELD_SPACE, and FIELD_COLOR
, so when one need to program a command showing a outline text with several columns or items the parameter -W and -P are managed by that two functions, really easy to use.

FIELD_SPACE is used to reseve space, and that function makes sure that the FIELD will not be cut. Also control the -W -P behavior.


just

START_LOOP:

LD C,xx --->amount chrs to reserve for the field (BIT 7=0 for the first field of the record)
CALL FIELD_SPACE
LD C,xx
CALl FIELD_COLOR
...
CALL PRINT anything..
...
LD C,xx ---> amount chrs to reserve for the field (BIT 7=1 for the next field of the record)
CALL FIELD_SPACE
LD C,xx
CALl FIELD_COLOR
...
CALL print others things.
....
DJNZ, START_LOOP


So you need to reserved the maximun chrs to print per field, and if you use less, the next FIELD_SPACE will to complete the space or just jump to the next line acording to the current situation.

LD C,00 ------->>> this mean just jump to the next line without FIELDING, (use to print mesages outside of a outline.
CALL FIELD_SPACE

flyguille, your project look very promising, but I am afraid it can't be very compatible with original BIOS, because too much is changed. But I absolutely love colored dir command. Why don't you improve existing command.com and command2.com with this great function?
