Works fine at the command prompt in W2K Pro. (DIR runs) It also works fine if launched from an icon on the desktop.
It does NOT work properly from the R Prompt (DIR doesn't run. IE comes up instead with the ftp protocol - ftp://ftp.bat/ and an error message) Tony Anthony Schmidt, JD The Computery Ltd.

They claim it is not a bug, but rather microsofts problem. Would anyone else please try this simple test, and tell me if you find the same thing that I do. 1. Create a simple test.bat file, just one command in it. DIR 2. then at the Rprompt type Launch test.bat You should see the dos directory flash by and be gone. This is correct, and Launch worked great. 3. Now rename that same file to FTPSTART.BAT 4 then at the R> type Launch Ftpstart.bat Please tell me if it did or didn't work. I believe the problem is with the filename itself.
