-===== Page and File Prompts ===== 
- 
-Several CMD.EXE commands can generate prompts, which wait for you to press a key to view a new page or to perform a file activity.  
- 
-When CMD.EXE is displaying information in page mode, for example with a DIR /P or SET /P command, it displays the message  
- 
-<code> 
-        Press Esc to Quit or any other key to continue... 
-</code> 
- 
-At this prompt, you can press Esc, Ctrl-C, or Ctrl- Break if you want to quit the command. You can press almost any other key to continue with the command and see the next page of information.  
- 
-During file processing, if you have activated prompting with a command like DEL /P, you will see this prompt before processing every file:  
- 
-<code> 
-        Y/N/R ? 
-</code> 
- 
-You can answer this prompt by pressing Y for "Yes, process this file;" N for "No, do not process this file;" R for "process the Remainder of the files without further prompting." You can also press Ctrl-C, Ctrl-Break, or Esc at this prompt to cancel the remainder of the command.
