- Tim Moore,
- after your posting I tried again. Shelling out to DOS from
- NB4 still does create a file "@NBDTA.TMP" in the directory
- specified in the line "DR=" in NBCUSTOM.SET, which in my case
- is a ramdrive. I did not check in on a 'real' disk, so I'm free
- to speculate that this feature may depend on whether the overflow
- drive is a fast virtual drive or a slower real thing.
