Mark, I figured that one out…Thanks! Next question… Why is it that if I define a buttonclick to run 4 or 5 shell statements one after the other it sort of hoses on the 3rd window? In other words, lets say that I set up a button to map 5 drives using the netware MAP utility. (Until I can convince my boss to buy the Novell windows sdk). It opens a dos window for each shell statement but then hoses and leaves 2 or 3 windows open. I have to click on the menu bars of each to get 'em to finish executing the command. I am running windows in 386 mode with 8MB ram and 37MB disk space free. I have 67% of my resources free after loading all my usual programs minimized in Win 3.0. By the way, I am using the 1 switch in the shell statement to invoke each window with focus. Is that my problem? I'd like to have a way to avoid the windows altogether by trapping output to nul or something but don't think that is realistic. Comments? Cheers, jpm
