Jeff,

Thanks .. it works like a bought one. One tweak I noticed is that for NT4,
the procedure is the same for shutting down the shell, and only slightly
different for starting it up.

To restart the shell, double-clicking on the desktop didn�t bring up the
task manager. This might be NT, or it might be the fact I�ve got Novell
running, but in any event, CTRL_ALT_DEL brings up a Novell  dialog, one of
the choices of which is to run the Task Manager.
