Greetings list,

I am having trouble using the "Run Program" command in mapbasic under windows XP

When I run the following batch file (Junk.bat)  from the windows XP command prompt, I 
get the required result (eg: a listing of all tab files in a directory)

Contents of Junk.bat
dir d:\mapbasic\victanyamap\*.tab /s/b > t_list.txt

When I try and run this same batch file from within my mapbasic code using the 
following command

Run Program "Command.com /c " + ApplicationDirectory$() + "Junk.bat" (junk.bat is in 
the same directory as my mbx)

I get an error in the windows command shell saying "Path not found"
Although the file t_list.txt is created in the application directory, but is empty

Does it have something to do with Mapinfo expecting the old windows 8.3 filenames?? or 
is my syntax incorrect?

Any help appreciated


Regards
