[comp.misc] Question about Batch files

greenber@eniac.seas.upenn.edu (Brian Greenberg) (05/03/90)

I have a batch file that executes certain dos commands, then runs a word
processor (Lotus Manuscript 2.1), and then executes some more dos commands.

For example:

dir
ms       'This runs Manuscript
dir


My problem is this:  if Manuscript changes directories while it is running
(e.g. to load the spell checker, or to save a file to a different directory),
then when I quit the program, I get a "batch file missing" error, and the
second "dir" does not execute.  Is there any way to avoid this error?  
Something to put in the batch file perhaps?

I am not subscribed to either of these newsgroups, so please respond by
e-mail if you can help (greenber@eniac.seas.upenn.edu).

Thank you very much.
