- Yes!!!! That fixed it! Don't know why I didn't notice Borland's version
- of the chdir, mkdir, rmdir commands... I guess they included them because
- the DOS equivalent is quirky... I still have to use a batch file to execute
- the self-extracting files, though... any ideas on getting redirection to
- work under program control? The files are compressed with the PK version
- of self-extracting stuff (forget the name). The command
-
- \command.com /C prcmpgm.exe *.* > nul
-
- does not redirect output to nul. All of the unpacking garbage scrolls
- across the screen. Under batch file control, however, works fine.

- Thanks again G. David Douglas, Jr!!
