The question: If I want to set COMSPEC equal to COMMAND.COM for exiting to DOS from programs, will that cause a problem with 4DOS? I find COMMAND.COM loads more quickly and smaller as a secondary shell, and is fine for the times I need to go to shell from a program. But I don't want to cause any problems with the normal 4DOS operation, and I'm not sure when COMSPEC is called upon. Any ideas on this? -Steffan O'Sullivan sos@psc90.uucp (7/20: sos@oz.plymouth.edu) Plymouth State College, NH
