I don't know if this is the best way to work around the problem, but it works. In your AUTOEXEC.BAT create an environment variable like set RESERVE=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (you can set more than one depending on how much space you need). Then in the shell bat file, execute set RESERVE=, which releases the space for use in the lower level of shell I agree it would be better if Windows allowed direct control, but . . . ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reed Jacobson reedj@hplsla.hp.com
