Hi Lester,
            Try these files...
1. Unzip attached files from ALTE.ZIP
2. Put CDA.BAT in your d:\arc directory
3. Change the name of your d:\arc\system\dgi\dosshell.bat
....to dosshell.bak
4. Copy the unzipped dosshell.bat to d:\arc\system\dgi\
5. Now try ALT-E and return from C:
6. Let me know what happens

Eric
