to report current user as a numerical id and have say another program do conversion? still got to make it find command.com psp and then I'd be able to add to master environment. it one thing dont like about dos and linux shells they dont point to the master environment thus saving ram.

I gave a thought at this some time ago, but just mind that you press F8

such kind of things.
As I already said - you can't have serious security in DOS. Asking password would protect only from dumb users who don't know about F5/F8.
Win98 don't have user names for local security, it have them to have different user profiles and to use them in networking.
a detail: please not "homes" or whatever. Use "Documents and settings". Yes, perhaps one day we'll have decent LFN support ;-)
(for non-LFN apps, use Docume~1 or whatever).
Maybe C:\DOCUMENT\username?
