  11. The short answer: need SHELL=C:\COMMAND.COM /P in CONFIG.SYS
  12. ----
  13. The answers I got said I needed a config.sys, and I needed to reboot with
  14. CTRL-ALT-DEL or else it would never run.
  15.  
  16. No one mentioned the shell variable.  And although I did run across a
  17. config.sys or three while searching the archives, this fact didn't stand
  18. out.
  19.  
  20. Definitely needs to be added to the FAQ.
