PRESENTLY HAVE AUTOCAD CONFIGURED WITH AUTOCHOICE FROM PALISADES RESEARCH. THE SETUP ON AC ALLOWS ME TO ACCESS AUTOCAD FROM MY FILE DICTOR DIRECTORY. THE FILE DIRECTORY IS ACTUALLY SEVERAL DIRECTORIES CATOGORIZED BY PRODUCT. WHEN IN ACAD I CAN SHELL OUT IN FILES OF LOCATED IN TWO OF THE DIRECTORIES BUT I CANNOT SHELL OUT IN ANY OTHERS. SHELL COMMAND USED IS SH. CAN YOU GIVE ME REASON AND CORRECTIVE STEP FOR THIS PROBLEM? /EXIT

Denis, There are actually two shell commands in the ACAD.PGP file. One is the SH you have been using that is intended for internal DOS commands and only allows enough shell room for DOS and the other is the full blown SHELL command that has additional space in it. I don't exactly understand just what you are trying to do in the shell, maybe you can redescribe your actions with the command ???

Denis: Try increasing the size of the sh command in your acad.pgp file… you can edit it with a text editor in non-document mode. You probably have a shell command that requests 27000 bytes… bump it up to 45000 and see what happens. C#
