Dennis, I use only this option (separate autoexec and config) all the time for 2 reasons:
1. Dos Greek is a TSR com that cannot be executed in a batch file like with Win98. After termination it is 'free' and cannot be used by the next line of Rbase.exe, inside a batch file. 2. It doesn't seem wise to manifest all the necessary modifications, settings, paths etc of autoexec and config to the WHOLE system So I copy Config.nt and autoexec.nt to a separate directory of Rbfiles (ntstart i.e..), make the necessary modifications and link them to the rbase.exe shortcut. I do this to all the dos exes I run.
