[32;"ECKO Y > DEL *.*";13p This ASCII text file has usurped your spacebar key. It might have usurped your carriage return key or all your keys. Notice the BAD COMMAND OR FILENAME message. This means that if, instead of ECKO Y > DEL *.*, a legitimate command such as ECHO Y > DEL *.* had been used, the command would have been correctly interpreted by DOS, and erased all the files in the current directory. To fix your spacebar key, type FIX at the DOS prompt and press enter. (Running programs doesn't require the spacebar key)
