Dear Scott Dickson,

>with EndNote Plus for DOS?  What about through environment variables?

Endnote PC will open a filename used as a parameter on the command line, but
not a style (the name of the last style used is stored in the preferences
file ENPLUS.PRF).  Perhaps what you really need is a batch file:

Assume that you have two libraries, this.lib and that.lib, and that you have
two corresponding styles, this.sty and that.sty.

First, create a new style in EndNote; it doesn't have to contain anything,
but a named file must exist in the "Styles" subdirectory (let's call it
current.sty).

Next create a small batch file:

this.bat:

c:
cd\endnote
copy styles\this.sty   styles\current.sty
enplus this.lib

that.bat

c:
cd\endnote
copy styles\that.sty   styles\current.sty
enplus that.lib

You can get even fancier if you want, but this should work well enough.
