David, I think the second path command is of no use, as all the batch (in Win2k,win XP) run in a separate DOS box and after termination you return to system's Path which remains intact

Once set up, change to Full Screen under Options tab. Here's the batch I use to use R:Base 6.5++ for DOS on my XP machine. PATH=C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adaptec Shared\System;C:\RBTI\RBDOS65;C:\PKZIP;C:\Program Files\Symantec\pcAnywhere\;"C:\Program Files\PKWARE\PKZIPC\" RBASE65 -R PATH=C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adaptec Shared\System;C:\RBTI\RBWIN65;C:\RBTI\RSCOPE65;C:\PKZIP;C:\Program Files\Symantec\pcAnywhere\;"C:\Program Files\PKWARE\PKZIPC\" EXIT Notice the only change is to replace the default C:\RBTI\RBWIN65 with C:\RBTI\RBDOS65 David Blocker [EMAIL PROTECTED] 781-784-1919 Fax: 781-784-1860 Cell: 339-206-0261 ----- Original Message ----- From: R. Scott Stanfield To: RBG7-L Mailing List Sent: Thursday, December 30, 2004 7:57 AM Subject: [RBG7-L] - RE: Getting R:BASE for DOS to run full screen on W2K I have just recently installed DOS 6.5++ on a few Win2000 machines. I would suggest running R:Base from a batch file where you set your paths and on the batch file icon on the desktop set the screen to Full Screen (with the right click properties). R:Base for Dos seems to have minor differences running on Win2000 than WinME or Win98. I have always opted not to use Win2000 because of the printer redirection on a network (LPT1) in WinME or 98. Many of my programs output to LPT1 and LPT1 might be a different printer depending on the workstation. I then found the net use command that works really well for LPT1, LP2, or LPT3 redirection. You can put it in the autoexec.bat file and is as follows: net use lpt1: \\computername\sharename . -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of John Engwer Sent: Wednesday, December 29, 2004 11:46 PM To: RBG7-L Mailing List Subject: [RBG7-L] - Getting R:BASE for DOS to run full screen on W2K I know that this question has been answered before but I can�t find the answer via search. I have a need to run a DOS DB for a short time under Win 2000 and I cannot get it to run full screen. I tried changing the font in the shortcut but it did not resolve the problem. How do I get it to display full screen? Thanks John
