I'm guessing you are running under 9x/ME instead of NT/2000/XP. Is that correct?
If so, try using 4dos as the shell (jpsoft.com). Try it for 21 days to build this (I love the shell and have used their products for many years). You may have to set "ParameterChar" to * instead of the default. That may help. If not, tell us more about your environment.
