I just started to learn the ins and outs of DOS. I remembered seeing this app, and thought it would be useful to use at school. (which it does, no blocks on this one at all!)
I know about changing setting in it. Like the colors and the title, etc...
I don't know all the options, or where to find out some of them.
I could use help finding What I have to put in the batch file to change certain settings.
(I hope you all understand what I'm asking for, I'm not good at describing questions, lol. sorry.)

What kind of "settings" do you want to change in Command Prompt Portable? It is just a launcher for the standard cmd.exe (command.exe on win9x). Typing "help" at the command prompt will give you a list of commands you can use or you can search Google for sites that have examples and tutorials on Batch Files.
If you're looking for something that you can customize easily, Console is available in the beta forum:
https://portableapps.com/node/11973
Console is a tabbed command prompt application that is very customizable.

Straight from Portableapps:
"Command Prompt Portable is a simple utility that allows you to have a custom command line setup on any Windows computer you come across. It has built in support for the command line interpreters on both Windows 95/98/Me and Windows 2000/XP/Vista as well as the ability to customize using simple DOS commands by editing the .bat file within CommandPromptPortable\Data\batch after you've run it once. You can customize the prompt, colors, window title, columns and more. A basic batch file is included with some simple settings.
Helpful Tip: Launch a command prompt with your own portable command line tools in the path by adding SET PATH=%~d0\UtilsDirectory;%PATH% to the batch file and placing your tools in X:\UtilsDirectory"
Those kinds of settings.
Also, I noticed I spelled command wrong....
The included batch file contains, by default:
You can edit that with any commands and settings you'd like. More details are available on sites that list DOS commands like this:

For instance, you can change the title by editing the line that says title. You can change the foreground and background color of the text by editing the color line as outlined in this color explanation.
For more, just browse threw the list of commands in the link above.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
I had noticed the title and the text color.
Thanks, that was what I needed.
If I wasn't a n00b at DOS, I would have done it myself, thanks for the help.
