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
