dos is pure Console, there are no actually commands I know of that'll center it, unless you specifally start a text at a x,y location. in C++ this would be the gotoxy command of the conio.h class(which stands for console input/output, havent used it in a while) <p>Karl<br><a href=mailto:kb244@kb244.8m.com>kb244@kb244.8m.com</a><br><a href=

x_start position = (x_screen_width) / 2 - (length_of_text) /2;
gotoxy(x_start_position,y_start_position);
