Well, at least I'm not the only one who has experienced this! I've got the RAD: working fine, just that I have to hit return to get diskcopy to start up. By the way, Michael, it IS <NIL: if you want to redirect the INPUT to the command. Actually, I'm using both <NIL: and >NIL: – and the >NIL: works just as advertised – I don't see the OUTPUT from diskcopy at all. I ended up with an 'echo "hit return to start diskcopy" ' before the command line that calls diskcopy. (See page 7-77 of the AmigaDos 2.0 manual). I tried that trick of redirecting the input to a file of CR's, too. Didn't work. Looks like you can't redirect the input of 2.0's diskcopy. Well, if you can use 1.3's version and it works, I'll copy it to my 2.0 boot disk under a different name and give it a try. Thanks for the input! -Steve-
