Re: "Cant run command"

Sounds like a path problem. I don't know how W95/8 starts DOS
programs, but it might be that spawned DOS sessions use an autoexec.bat
file different than the regular one, and that it needs PATH staement
pointing to wherever command.com is (&if that's not the problem I'll
bet it's something kindred). To test, within Xywrite, try switching to
the directory where command.com is and then run DOS from the command
line.
