Based on the type of error, the DOS "critical error handler" displays all of the options that it thinks are aprropriate for the current problem. If IGNORE isn't showing up, then it is explicitly because IGNORE is not an appropriate way to handle that error. For example, if you try to copy a file and DOS gets a "Sector Not Found" while reading the DIRectory to find the file, then IGNOREing the error and copying the file even though it was not found is not a viable option. What version of DOS are you dealing with? What kind of error are you trying to sweep under the rug? If you still want to IGNORE the error, and pretend that everything worked when it really didn't, AND DESTROY ALL REMAINING INTEGRITY OF YOUR DATA, then you can write a TSR that contains a critical error handler that replaces the stock one, and intercept the interrupt. PCTools did that, in order to prevent "Abort, Retry, Ignore" messages from messing up their screen displays. They caused millions of dollars worth of damage to data, including thousands of dollars worth of damage in my company. May they be stuck in MICROS~1 operating systems for the rests of their hopefully short miserable lives.
