Seems that your PATH is not set correctly: the BAT file will be found, because you enetered its full path specification during the creation of the shortcut, but the programs that are started from the BAT-file (prepmx, pmx, etc) will not be found. To set your PATH variable in Win2000, go to the Control Panel, select System. A window System Properties pops up. Select tab Advanced. Push button Environment Variables. A window enabling you to modify your own (User) variables and the System variables pops up. Depending on your access rights (set by the W2k system administrator) you may not be able to change system environment variables. Insert the full directory name of the executable's directory in either the User PATH or the System PATH. Use a semicolon (;) to separate entries. These PATHs will be merged together whenever a new program (e.g., CMD.EXE) is started. Also, the effect is immediate, so no need anymore to restart your PC. Hope this helps, Arjen. -- Arjen Bax | CMG Noord-Nederland B.V. | Sector Telecommunications & Utilities | Postbus 70237 | 9704 AE Groningen | The Netherlands | TEL +31-50-5219500 | FAX +31-50-5219504 | WEB http://www.cmg.nl To define recursion, we must first define recursion _______________________________________________ TeX-music mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://sunsite.dk/mailman/listinfo/tex-music
