Hey, ron!

That seems to be just what the doctor ordered.

I just tried it out in a test.bat file, and it worked exactly as described.

Thanks a million!

I'd like to thank all the others; bretjohn, rr, glennmcc, marcov, georgpotthast, nidud, (did I miss anyone?); who offered guidance, ideas, and suggestions. As many of you already know, I'm an old guy disabled by worsening chronic illnesses, so I can only spend a few minutes a day at my computer. My vision is deteriorating, as are my memory and cognitive skills. So I need all the help I can get and am deeply grateful to you guys for being so patient with me.

I get a great deal of satisfaction out of trying to get my old MS-DOS 6.21 system up and running again, like it did back in the day when I could spend entire days, day after day, writing code and tweaking the system. I believe that my working on this project may help slow down my mental decline. And even if it doesn't. It's a hell of a lot of fun!

I'd like to follow-up on some of the other suggestions you guys have offered as ways to solve the problem I posed to you at the outset of this thread. I'm especially interested in learning more about environmental variables and reconfiguring the environment space.

But that's all for now. I need to take a rest, and then get on with the mundane tasks of daily living that now consume nearly all my time and energy these days.

Thanks again! You guys are terrific!
