    Hello Steve,


    well, if you run 4DOS or such,
    I don't.
    uggg... how do you run your system, then??

    Ask Jeff Schrunk at 1:3830/5, whom I just mystified with my "amazing" batchfiles. Something along the lines of the old Monty Python "Confuse-a-Cat" sketch. <LOL>

    As I sat the other day and ripped out the pertinent parts of my batch
    files for the NC duties out in preparation for the turn over to the new
    NC, I stared in wonder:

    Why did I do that?
    What does this do?
    The comment says ____ but it does ----. Why?
    I wonder if he'll understand what I was doing here?... I don't. :-)
    Maybe I should just go to his house and help him? Naw... If I don't know
    what I did, how could I help him? :-)
    I'll just send him a sympathy card. :-))


    Considering that I do all the junk from Dos under Desqview, it's a wonder
    the poor computer doesn't attack me in rage! :)

    ... All I did was press E-N-T-E-R, like the screen said!?!?

    Sounds like that one Talking Heads song. "My God, what have I done?!"
