I created the batch file in Notepad and that insisted on using a particular character set which if saved using that set, the batch file would then flash up briefly and disappear when run in the Windows cmd prompt. So I gave up on that one as not being too reliable across systems perhaps as I didn't really know what I was doing.
As several people have pointed out, batch files are a lazy way of front ending something that is really meant to work on a Windows system. I just thought that it was a quick and simple way of doing something minimal that's all - as long as it works I'm not too fussed. -- Dilwyn Jones _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
