Al, Humm…I'm surprised any of them worked since you're saying to make it 200 pixels in height but start at pixel 30…which would make the screen height 230 pixels total…unless you're running in interlace mode. In any event, based on what someone else said…I tried it as: newcli con:30/30/150/150/"test segment" from a normal CLI prompt and got the window opened…but it had the title 'test' and an error message about not finding the script file 'segment' If I put double quotes around the entire thing…it worked fine. I had tried it from my shell (CSH207) when I left my message to you and it works just fine there with the quotes around the title only or around the whole thing. That kind of surprised me since for the command newcli..the shell should just pass the argument and not mess with it…but it obviously does. In any event, you got it working and looking in the DOS book, it does say to have double quotes around the entire window spec statement if you have spaces in the title. Don

You're third one is clearly bad – "NEWCLI con:30…Test Screen" says to take that whole business you gave between double quotes, treat it as a file name and find a command with that name.
