- apologies for the delay on this, but one of the sites between here and

- there is a much easier way to do this. wait one, while I pull up the
- relevant line from my autoexec.bat file....
-
- set EXINIT=source c:\etc\exrc
-
- where my config file happens to be c:/etc/exrc (you can, of course,
- substitute whatever happens to apply on your system). works very
- nicely, no problems.
-
- I wish I could remember who exactly it was that told *ME* this about
- a year and a half ago, so I could give proper credit, but I can't.

- ahh well, that's a different subject. :-) if I could find a cheap
- UN*X for my 386 (1.6 Meg RAM) that would still allow me to run the
- mess-dos stuff I've collected over the years (w/o rebooting all the
- time), I'd be switching in a heartbeat. but that's another
- newsgroup.... :-)
-
- hope this helps.
