Hi Valentin, Just downloaded the v02 one. Cool. Been playing around with it and the following issues popped up: Works: "services.msc", "cmd" (though it become internal one, but cool), "explorer", "winver", "notepad", "dxdiag", "mmc", "calc". Throws an error (doesn't work): "far", "iexplore". Does nothing: "msconfig". Yours is better (than the internal cmd one): "ipconfig /displaydns (and many more)", "ping 000.0.0.0". Though I have no idea of what an xtra is, and I can't simply say "This one is good" while "This one needs some improvements" I should admit "Good work". I classify these kind of things as: "Know how" Win03, DMX04 Cheers Peter Bochan [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
