Hmmm. I got a "Not found"--looks like the server is down, temporarily.
search *pif and lnk* and look for Patricia's name.
Then when I see an icon that I can use to launch a program (DOS or
Win), how do I know whether that icon represents a .pif or a .lnk?
Or, putting it better, how do I know what kind of dialog with what
kind of tabs is going to be under the Properties of that icon?
The WIN icons should all be lnk's, I believe. At all events, you can
see all your lnk's and pif's by searching your HD for either *.lnk* or *.pif.*
How do I look at the file specs?
Search the HD for editor.pif. But if you follow the procedure I sent,
it will only create a .pif.
Thanks, but this is the same dialog box with the same settings as I
had before, and the same (mixed) results. Most importantly, not just
the ctrl-j but even the arrow keys give bad output when held down
(arrow keys put out 2, 4, 6, and 8).
I can't tell whether its the shortcut or TAME or something else, but
here's how to eliminate the shortcut as a suspect. Open autoexec.nt
and restore the TAME startup line, then, using your file manager,
start XY by clicking on editor.exe. I did this and the TAME console
came up fine. If you still get the anomalies you described above,
then it's got to be something in the TAME setup or something else.
Anyway, at least we can move past the shortcut issue.
