Hi Art, PatchDOS and setexecute are identical — I just wanted to give the icon a descriptive name 🙂 Note these programs are "experimental" — no big problems, but a few incompatibilities. Once you've done a patchDOS, programs will inherit cd and path when you do an Execute(), tho I've heard that some early software was written to assume that Execute()ed commands would end up in DF0: You shouldn't need to set up new residnet lists when you reopen a WShell from WorkBench, unless the library (where resi anchors the stuff) has been purged from memory. SOme programs (eg DPaint) ask for 10 megs of memory when they start up, which flushes any unopen but residnet libraries. Is this what you're observing? -Bill
