Not 98 SE. Del /Q yields an "invalid switch"message.

Neat. I may try that. Another wrinkle is that if you're having a problem
and debugging something, you might want to see what .TMP files Xy has
created and look at them. So the line in STARTUP.INT should probably ask
if you want to delete them first. (I have the code for this, but it's on
another machine that I cannot boot right now; no technical problem: it's
a laptop and there's no room on its desk to open it!)
