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

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