Yes!!!!  That fixed it!  Don't know why I didn't notice Borland's version
of the chdir, mkdir, rmdir commands...  I guess they included them because
the DOS equivalent is quirky...  I still have to use a batch file to execute
the self-extracting files, though... any ideas on getting redirection to
work under program control?  The files are compressed with the PK version
of self-extracting stuff (forget the name).  The command

     \command.com /C prcmpgm.exe *.* > nul

does not redirect output to nul. All of the unpacking garbage scrolls
across the screen.  Under batch file control, however, works fine.


Thanks again G. David Douglas, Jr!!
