I have had a problem with my swapfile...  I wanted to delete it because I
had too little disk space left, and when I used the swapfile program to
delete it, and tried to run any DOS based program (including a DOS shell),
Windows said that it couldn't find the application (COMMAND.COM I presume).
I know that Windows swaps out things to the swapfile for DOS shells, but
since I used the swapfile program to delete the swapfile, shouldn't Windows
realize that it should be using the temporary swapfile?  I have temp setup
in my AUTOEXEC.BAT as my ramdisk, which as 2 megs, and there is enough
space on my disk (about 4 megs) for windows to create a temporary swap.
What is wrong???

Vince
