Re: vDos-lfn screen colors when shell to 4DOS

[Harry Binswanger hb@xxxxxxxx]

Yes, if you go launch it from that subdirectory, you get an old-fashioned
DOS set of options, which you go through using TAB and cursor-up/cursor-down.
I have several 4DOS folders on my system, and the trick is to get vDos-lfn
to work with a different 4DOS.INI from that used by my freestanding 4DOS.
Is there a setting in AUTOEXEC.TXT or elsewhere that can tell vDos-lfn the
location of the 4DOS files it uses?

Hi James,
If you have installed vDos-lfn for XyWrite, the executable OPTION.EXE
should be located in the 4DOS sub-directory of the vDos-lfn main
directory. So you will be able to run the OPTION command if the 4DOS
sub-directory is already in your PATH environment variable. If not, please
either add it into your PATH environment variable or go to the
sub-directory where OPTION.EXE is located in and then run OPTION (but not
OPTION.EXE). Hope this helps.

Hi Wengier,

Is the "vDos-lfn command line" the same thing as the 4DOS comand
line? I'm not able to enter the command "OPTION" on the 4DOS command line.

Thanks,

James
