Hi All, I recently posted a request for help on finding/adding a string to the DOS environment of the form "set TODAY=yymmdd". Several of you mailed or posted replies all of which are greatly appreciated. ONE PERSON saw through the way I had posted the request and answered my problem rather than the question that I posted! His suggestion was to write an VERY simple "C" program to create the file TODAY.BAT with the string "set TODAY=yymmdd" inside of it and execute the program and then the *.BAT created by the program as the last two items of my AUTOEXEC.BAT. Simplicity itself! (I am sorry, I lost the username by the time I realized it really WAS the answer to my question.) Thanks Frank
