The map ins commands do not seem to work. There is a message that says it cannot run rbase. I go to a command prompt and type the map ins commands, I do not get an error, but the search path is not there when you do a map command. I have put the rbase directory under c:\winnt\rbase and added this path to the system variables and this allows me to run rbase. This is like adding a directory to the path statement. I need to be able to map a path to the server.sy5 file.
