Yes I dropped the quote, sorry, I always seem to do that when I write. The dir listing
does work. The next command does not. It is a shell command. The ImagaMagick program
works via command line. Like I said wonderfully, on my OSX machine. The commands all
work via the dos prompt in 98. And if I turn the hideconsule on, I see the window come
up and then close. Just no result or return. Or completion of the command. Have quoted
both the command and everything else I can think of at different times. But without
some kind of result I am at a lose. When I do use the wrong command, the result comes
back as a bad command. That much is good. But I really need the results in all cases.
Driving me crazy....since the program is done...except for it doesn't work on the
Windows side!! arggghhhh!!
