- Warren's answer is not particularly verbose. I think he is suggesting
- that I use a full path specification on all DOS calls rather than a
- CD-relative one. This will solve my immediate need (thanks), but I'd
- still like to have a CD if anyone has any suggestions.

- At least using fully specified file names is better than my previous
- best solution of the program calling itself in the new directory.
