EDIT: Guess in pure dos, my batch file is good! In Dosbox it gives me bullcrap 😉

Hi there,quick question: how to avoid blank lines after an echo line?
I'm creating a table to start my dos games, but I get an empty line after each echo.
DOS 6.22
code follows:

1@cls
2@echo ╔══════════════════════☺☺══Lazy DOS Menu by Jigo═☺☺═════════════════════╗
3@echo ║  1= Doom                 16=                     31= BMH              ║
4@echo ║  2= Doom2                17=                     32= BMP              ║
