The problem is that my environment is lost. I know I've seen similar problems when I exceed my allocated environment. When you "overflow" the environment, 4dos doesn't just ignore the excess, it also serves to hose the existing environment. When I suspect a problem, I do just as you said...type SET, and look for strange stuff. Also, trying to set more environment variables at that point elicits an error message. If this is the problem, just increase the environment space allocated using the /E switch in the SHELL command of the appropriate config.sys's. -- Bob Newman internet: newman_r@cho006.CHO.GE.COM GE Fanuc Automation, Inc. uunet: ...uunet!virginia!edison!rfn
