Hi Al, First things first. When running Dos programs there is no start command. Not sure where you got that idea, but if it is a standard executable just typing the program name will launch it. For example, if piledriver was in c:\pd49 you would type c:\pd49\pd49 and the program would run. That's all there is to it.
However, on XP you don't have to even run the Command Prompt directly. Just opening Windows Explorer, pressing enter on pd49.exe, will automatically run the program in the Command Prompt. So that saves you from having to know any console commands which would be a good idea to learn anyway if you plan to play very many Dos games etc. As far as playing some wrestling games I am working on my own wrestling game, and hopefully I will have something available in the not too distant future. I have decided to start over in Python 2.7, and Pygame 1.9. So far the game runs pretty well on Linux, Windows, and I imagine will work fine on Mac OS as well if someone gets the source and compiles it. Cheers!
