I believe it has also been tried on an 8.X AW70. Dos Prompt will be the text descriptor that is seen in the menu, the menu pick will initiate the "run startp cmd" command.

In a effort to secure the machines from operator I have locked them down as per Foxboro's documentation. Now, I need for the techs to be able to, from their environment access IACC (I was able to add that one to the Config menu) and the command prompt. As I said adding the IACC wasn't much of a challenge, but adding the command prompt to the SftMnt pull down is causing me a slight pain in the backside. I tried duplicating the "Explorer" scripting with no success. I'm sure that someone has done this and I would really like to hear from you.
