Will someone PLEASE explain what is wrong with just using 4Dos??? It loads in a command processor, and runs a batch file for all those neat ram-res programs that people love. It even has more features than Command.com. It's not a general solution, but is very practical. It does everything that I want it to, and it seems better than the suggestions that have been floating around. If you don't like it fine, but please remember it is an option before saying that the only/best solution is in OS2 etc... Mike Sullivan One of many Michael P.
