Nothing.

Nothing.

Okay, I didn't try that (although I only have half a bootdisk of that to test). BUT, I did try both DR-DOS with various shells (default, FreeCom, 4DOS) and native FreeDOS (FreeCom), and neither worked. I'll try DOS 7 later, but I don't think that's the cause because it used to work fine.

Theory: I (very blindly) guess it might be due to you maybe?? putting quotes around things in some cases.

P.S. I have badly neglected my usage of NDN in the past few months due to various things: too busy to always copy / install it onto oldie favorite P166, the erstwhile slow speed between running external commands (although it's twice as fast now, so that could've been anything, maybe even something unrelated), and the fact that I heavily use DOSKEY-ish (actually Toddy) macros from cmdline. It's still an excellent app, though. <joking to marcov> And the Tetris actually works! </joking> :-P :-D
