Arachne at FreeLists---The Arachne Fan Club! Hi Lester, The %1, third line from the end of the file DOSSHELL.BAT , is supposed to return you D: . Do an ALT-E and then look at file $roura$.bat. At the end of the 1st line of $roura$.bat should be "D:\arc\" which is the %1 in DOSSHELL.BAT. Freedos may not accept that as a command. Arachne is known to have some difficulties with Freedos. So you may want to use a batch file like I do to return to D:\arc before you issue an EXIT command from an ALT-E. You may find $roura$.bat in d:\tmp\arachne.tmp\ Eric On Wed, 22 Nov 2006 02:40:01 -0500, "Lester" <fd100@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Arachne at FreeLists---The Arachne Fan Club! >> L: bad command or filename - "d:\arc\" >> GM: That command should switch to drive D: >> GM: It looks like your dos is not switching drives, for some reason. > That's correct, it doesn't.
