O.K. -- but do you really need to shell out to DOS
from Xy ?
Yes, many times a day, as part of my email list management program.

concurrent (secondary) DOS session for whatever.
Multitasking should not be considered an exotic
concept, at this point in computing history.
I need to pass to DOS the values of some variables, such as filenames. I
suppose there might be some way to do that--such as have Xy write them into
the .BAT files I'm using. Then run the .BAT files "by hand" from a
concurrent DOS prompt.
(* OTOH, quite possibly some of the U2 stuff you are
using requires the ability to shell out from Xy . . .
No doubt! Anyway, I'm sure David Thomas can fix it, if I can get on his radar.
