Remap keyboard in dos6.20

December 11th, 2013

hello everyone, in my computer class the teacher want me to remap the keyboard on dos so everytime i press [;] appears instead [:]. this is so we dont have to press [shift]+[;] all the time when typing a path in dos. but when i create my batch file that i try to execute it, it says that it doesnt exist. i dont know if im explaining myself well enough, this is how the file looks like
@echo off
rem [ctrl] [esc] [p] [ctrl] [esc]
rem what it is <=> what u want it 2 B
echo <-[59;58p
rem echo <-[';';':'p
echo <-[58;59p

note: the <- is by pressing the [ctrl] [esc] [p] [ctrl] [esc]
also for extra credit he want us to create another file that when executed it will change everything back. i told him if it was by copying the file but he didnt gave me a straight answer and since is not working for me i cant find out if im right. i just want to know what im doing wrong in the bat file, thanks.

As an IT professional for almost 24 years, I would like you to tell your teacher on my behalf that he shouldn’t be teaching his students how to remap a keyboard with a 16 year old DOS operating system in this day and age of Unix/Linux/Windows/MacOSX/iOS/Android and an increased popularity of smart phones and tablets and cloud computing.
