I'd like to hear some more details about this - particularly about what FILEC does with the ESC key. 4DOS uses the ESC key for the same thing COMMAND.COM does - it cancels the current (DOS) line. Are you saying that FILEC uses ESC as the hot-key to pop up? Or that it uses ESC for some function when it's active, and that 4DOS overrides it? Note: there are 4DOS support conferences on several PC-based BBS networks (i.e. ILink), and the guys who wrote 4DOS are superb about support. If there are problems, they _want_ to hear about them, and often have already got fixes. I'd be glad to ask them about the problem if you can supply more details. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Archie Warnock Internet: warnock@stars.gsfc.nasa.gov -- ST Systems Corp.
