That must be it, Bill. Somehow, Ados cannot find resident commands when you have sent it the strings. I guess you must use Execute() to send the command string? If so, might it be that it starts a CLI, and not a shell, so that could be causing part of the problem (?) I guess so, because… As to the commands, no, actually they are NOT in c:, but in a dir off of C: (commands that I use an SPAT RESIDENT df0:c/radc/#? to set up in my s-s). So,… you do an Execute(), there are no RESIDENTs in CLI, as there are in shell, looks to c:, and cannot find the commands. Hmmm, sounds reasonable. OK, so the solution(s) might include: 1) Workaround for now — the obvious: put the LC commands back in C: –or– 2) Include the path (less painful for me, but I'd still get rid of the RESIDENTs in this case, no need to have 'em there if I have to use C: anyway. –or– 3) Try to do a NEWSHELL NEWCON:0/0/300/100/test from compileit where compileit is in S: and does a RX compile. (Yick, this is messy!) –or– 4) Can I do an OPEN() of NEWCON: and submit a command to it? –or– 5) Might you be able to rewrite for a new release using a version of Execute() that uses an ADOS Shell? (If such exists?) –Gabe
