Dan, I must apologize. I typed run ftpstart.bat from the R> not Launch ftpstart.bat.
I tried it this morning using the Launch ftpstart.bat and the result was a quick flash of the DOS window and right back to the R> and it did not launch IE. Using Run ftpstart.bat it works fine.

I wonder if it is that my quote settings are different than yours. I will try playing with settings untill I can figure just which setting makes it work ok. Not that it matters, I just renamed the file and went on with my life, but tracking down things is in my nature, and if I can make a problem disappear for someone else, it will have been worth it. Thanks guys for the test and the results, I will dig deeper and see if I can determine what settings cause this to not work for me. I can replicate this on both win98, and win 2000 pro, with the latest version of R:base.
