DOS Rem

DOS Rem definition - computer

A Rem statement is used to place comments in a DOS batch file or the CONFIG.SYS file to remind the user of something. For example, the following line is for documentation purposes only:

  rem   the following driver activates the mouse
  device=mouse.sys


You can bypass any command in the file by adding REM at the beginning of the line. In the following example, MOUSE.SYS will not be loaded:
         device=mouse.sys   command activated
  rem    device=mouse.sys   command not activated
