Dean, Thanks for your reply. I believe everything is correct, yet it still doesn't work. It's either something esoteric or a stupid blunder on my part. To answer your questions: 1) I entered the script verbatim, as listed in the manual. 2) Yes, I substituted my default boot device, (DH0:) in the script. 3) Yes, the c directory exists in my 1.3 directory. 4) I've already tried troubleshooting by commenting out certain lines in the script, and everything seems to be in order. That's why I'm so baffled. After the script terminates, the assign command does nothing, since I'm still using the 2.04 assign command with the 1.3 ROM. At the CLI prompt, I then assign the c dir to 1.3, using the complete path to the 1.3 c dir, using the exact line that's in the script. Then the assign works. Now when I type assign, it shows the c dir assigned to 1.3, but everything else still assigned to dh0:. I experimented by putting the c: and sys: assignments at the end of the script, and using the complete path to the 1.3 c dir for the other assignments. After the script aborts, a check of my assignments reveals that the first 5 dirs are assigned properly to 1.3, but the c dir is still assigned to dh0:, and then the script fails only when it tries to make the sys: assignment. Apparently, the other assignments work, the c: assignment doesn't, but does not abort the script, and ultimately, the script always aborts on the sys: assignment. Are you as puzzled as I am? I spent a few hours on the problem and it's been a real nuisance. If I can't get it working, I will call Jerry on Monday. Thanks for your concern. Dom Fontana
