Are you not trying to run it in a command window from the GUI then?
Just booting to DOS?

What could possibly go wrong?

Hey james,

Can you change the Properties of the command window?  Right click on
the blue bar at the top, Properties, then the Layout tab.
I typically set it to:
Screen Buffer Size:
Width   100
Height  300
Window Size:
Width80
Height   50

This should work on 98.  I run Win2k, but it also worked on NT.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
