a guy in my office needs a menu on his PC. I put Desqview on, because it
does so many more useful things that a simple menu.

ok. he has a laptop, so he doesn't always want to be on the network
(Novell)

I would like to put a Network option in his DV menu; I put one in, and
it ran a batch file to log him on, then the last line was 'exit'
to return to the menu, so he can go to mail, or whatever; 

well, it logs him in ok, but when the window closees, the net drivers go away
is there a way to close a window, and leave something resident in ram?

right now, i set his prompt to 'Network? (y/n) ' and have y.bat and n.bat
to do the appropriate things,

anyway, i could leave the network window open , as DOS, but i thought i'd
see if there was a nice way to keep the drivers up w/ no window

any suggestions?
