Thanks to all who responded about my first batch file question.  If you
recall, the question was how to get DOS to find the batch file after a
program is finished executing (assuming that program has changed directories
in the course of running).

The general consensus was to put the directory containing the batch
file in my path.  I tried that and it didn't help.  I even tried putting
the batch file directory as well as all the directories the program might
use in the path.  Still - no luck.

I'm really stuck here.  I can't believe DOS would allow you to execute a
program from within a batch file, but not be able to find it upon exiting.
One thing I did notice was that the problem only occurs when the word
processor (Lotus Manuscript 2.1) is dealing with a file that is more than
30K.

Can anyone out there in netland make heads or tails of this?  Please reply
in e-mail (greenber@eniac.seas.upenn.edu), as I don't subscribe to these
newsgroups.

Thanks for your patience...
