Not because of this particular problem, but, out of curiosity, I tried
today to give the MS command line facility a shot. I think that's what
we are discussing here. I immediately ran into something of a problem.
My assumption was is was fully a DOS window. Trying to work my way to
folder was a bit daunting, since I have not used this in a very long
time, but this wasn't the problem. As it turns out, there was an easier way. Drag and drop the path+program link into the window after placing a CD in the command line. Very non-DOS*. :-) One could then backspace to remove the program name, so the result was a CD to the program folder, where several programs reside. Now the problem became one of typing in the name of the program each time it was to be executed. With a pretty long path name and the need to type in the file name on each use, it seemed a bit tedious. Maybe there's another way? * But yet, no copy and paste from the folder Address area P.S. For some very odd reason, now when I press Reply, I get both the poster's address and Tutor. It seems to come and go. Right now it doesn't work, as I try it one other messages I see on screen. Very odd. Alan Gauld wrote:
