Hey Roger and Glenn- Thanks for the tips and I am happy to say...got it working! On my main pc, I use a boot disk to take me directly to Dosstart. From there I usually go to Arachne (sometimes Nettamer). When I left either one of those, I end up at Dosstart. Now when I exit Dosstart, I end up at the a:\> prompt and I can shut the machine down! So it worked fine, and now I know what to do for my laptop which is what this topic has been about. Roger, you mentioned including \batch in the path and Glen, I saw you had that in your Autoexec.bat....and my library book mentions it, but I am not sure why? I don't have it in mine so I am not sure what is NOT happening. If I created a dir. \batch which contained all my .bat files, and added it to the path in the autoexec.bat, what would I be able to do? Thanks and Cheers! Neil T. http://www.qsl.net/wa4chq -- Arachne V1.70;rev.3, NON-COMMERCIAL copy, http://arachne.cz/
