Larry:
We are backlogged a week, so you might know the answer already.
Create e.g. an OS/2-window-object, open the object-menu, choose open
settings, choose program. Let us say your cmd-file is called C:\DOIT.CMD
possibility 1)
- enter "C:\DOIT.CMD" in "Path and filename"
possibility 2)
- enter "CMD.EXE" in "Path and filename"
- enter "/K C:\DOIT.CMD" in "Parameters"
- if you want to prompt the user for parameters append to the program name
in the "Parameters" an opening square bracket, a blank and a closing
square bracket for any parameters you want to prompt for. If you want to
supply a prompt text, replace the blank within the square brackets with
the desired text.
Save the settings.
Move or shadow the object to the Startup-folder.
Possibility 1 executes C:\DOIT.CMD, upon termination it will terminate the
session.
Possibility 2 creates an OS/2-session, tells CMD.EXE to keep the session after
the program "C:\DOIT.CMD" is terminated, i.e. do not close the window.
