Thanks to all who responded about my first batch file question. If you recall, the question was how to get DOS to find the batch file after a program is finished executing (assuming that program has changed directories in the course of running). The general consensus was to put the directory containing the batch file in my path. I tried that and it didn't help. I even tried putting the batch file directory as well as all the directories the program might use in the path. Still - no luck. I'm really stuck here. I can't believe DOS would allow you to execute a program from within a batch file, but not be able to find it upon exiting. One thing I did notice was that the problem only occurs when the word processor (Lotus Manuscript 2.1) is dealing with a file that is more than 30K. Can anyone out there in netland make heads or tails of this? Please reply in e-mail (greenber@eniac.seas.upenn.edu), as I don't subscribe to these newsgroups.
