Mea Culpa, 1. You do have to create the backup file before launching uvbackup, but you do not have to create the file containing the screen contents before hand (if you've chosen that option).
2. Using the DOS command as documented (without the START command), uvbackup works, but it displays the screen contents on the UV screen if you've chosen to store the screen contents in a separate file for later review. 3. Adding the START command - eg. DOS /c START (pathname) - starts the batch file or executable outside of UV and does not display the screen contents within UV - a preferable condition if you are running this from a phantom (which I haven't tried yet). 4. Double quotes surrounding the pathname change nothing when used without the START command and cause uvbackup to fail when used with the START command. So (Leroy), the START command should be added to the DOS documentation as an option to prevent the screen contents from displaying on the UV screen. Thank you again, Ray, for sharing the START command with us.
