Mike Actually, under XP, I've had BETTER luck firing R:Base off a batch file than under a direct firing of R:Base, because it's the only way I've gotten R:Base to run full screen. WHen you run a batch file off an icon in XP you get a different set of options that you do if you run the EXE directly. And one of these, under the heading "Options" allows for "Full Screen".
How do YOU get R:Base DOS versions to run full screen by your method?
