Message-ID: <11331@shlump.nac.dec.com> Date: 8 May 90 13:53:39 GMT Sender: newsdaemon@shlump.nac.dec.com Organization: DEC, TTB1-2/F05, Ten Tara Boulevard, Nashua, NH 03062 Lines: 15 As both an expereinced DOS and Unix user who writes both shell and command.com scripts, I use command.com as the native shell, and run sh.exe only for those things that I can't easily do otherwise. I run it this way because most DOS applications do not use the switch character propery. Incidentally, don't forget to ut '.' in your PATH.
