Mary:

I've had erratic results shelling to DOS from NBWin, especially when
no window is open. It needs further scrutiny -- NB needs more
attention on our part, period. For now, the workaround is to remove
the JM 2.GetXyOSQ2 command and simply to put the result of that
command -- a 3-character identification of your current operating
system -- into Save/Get [Macro] 652 within NBSTART.INT. These are
the identifiers:

LUX (Unix, any flavor)
MAC
OS2
W31
W95
W98
WME
WNT
W2K
WXP

In your case, you'd put the following on a separate line of INT:

≪SV652,W98≫;*;

Anyone who runs only one operating system on a machine can do this,
to avoid the call to GetXyOS. But U2 needs to know what you're
running.

Thanks for pointing this out.
