Steve,
You don't mention what version of R:Base you're using, but presumably it is
a DOS version since you use the command line "rbase -r". In this case
you'll have to specifically path the location of the R:Base files on each
computer. Novell handled that for you; with Windows you're on your own.
I'd recommend making the logical drive mappings permanent on each machine
unless there is an overriding reason to make them dynamic.
Also, in your example, you map two drives to the same RBFILES
directory. Is there a reason?
