Mike,
I agree. That is very true when you process the batch file such as *.BAT or *.CMD (on Win NT, Win2K, XP). One should use "Scripts" instead, as you have suggested.
But, if you directly LAUNCH the program without a batch file, such as LAUNCH RBW65PP5.TXT or LAUNCH RBG65.PDF, the RBG65 will launch the Windows NotePad or Acrobat Reader accordingly.
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.

Razaak, Oleta, Whenever you start an instance of the Command Processor, you will get the Dos Window. There is no workaround to that. That phenomenon is the reason most IT Admins use Scripts which when used with Launch will not produce the Dos Window....
