Might be related to the fact that option #4 doesn't work since there's no line which uses option #4. If you understand the FDCONFIG.SYS menu structure, add some line which does nothing and is executed for all options. > 2) If I'm running FreeCOM (COMMAND.COM) and I run an application with a > command line and add a redirection operator, trailing spaces after the > command line and before the operator will be passed to the application, > often causing it to fail the purpose of the command. For example, if I > type "MYPACK myfile.dat > result.txt", I may get a message like "File > not found: 'myfile.dat '. Or more common, if I enter "EXTRACT > thisfile.pak |more", it may come up with "Invalid file name: > 'thisfile.pak '. Extension should be '.pak' or '.zp'.

Fix your programs to cut any trailing and leading whitespace (tabs and spaces) from the command line before using the filename.
