I need a little help with a few lines i'm trying to implement in my startup sequence. I need to check if RAD: exists, but the way i'm doing it is producing an undesirable system requester asking me to put RAD: in any drive. The line I now have (and want to be conditional) is: commandreq "execute sys:s/radup-sequence" yes 10 which puts up a requester asking me if I want execute my radup-sequence which mounts RAD:, copys df0: to RAD: and assigns everything there. The only time i'd like this line to be executed is if RAD: doesn't already exist, so I tried this: if not exists RAD: commandreq "execute sys:s/radup-sequence" yes 10 else execute sys:s/radup-sequence endif If i'm doing this wrong, how can I check for RAD: without getting that &@^*& requester asking me to put RAD: in any drive?
