subject: Dos() in TSE 2.8

From: 
I took a quick crack at this today.
Feel free to make suggestions. :-)
Press  to start the macro again.
Put your dos commands in the command window.
Press  to execute the command line under the cursor.
Mark several command lines to immediately execute commands one
after the other.
Put a dot in front of a command if you want its screen output
captured.  (ie. redirected to a file)
Tip - I like to run ftp << mycmds.ftp from the tse dos prompt.
where mycmds.ftp contains something like:
open ftp.semware.com
anonymous
dir
First edit mycmds.ftp.  Next  then  select 
mycmds.ftp then press  then add ftp << in front of 
mycmds.ftp and hit enter.  Put in the password when prompted.  
Also, regarding the caps problem.  Yup it happended to me.  
I found that if I left caps on in the Win 95 password screen 
that caused it.
