G'day Doug!

* Thanks also to Greg Matheson, for a less detailed reply... :)

Ta. It worked nicely enough for the purpose I intended (a backup alarm
clock for those must-be-there occasions :), but I came across a rather
annoying glitch. When I Ctrl-C'ed PLAY.CMD, I seemed to be locked out of my
cd player until I closed the session it was launched from. DETACHing, as I
just did, also makes it a little difficult to stop the disc
"properly".

High time I read that .INF methinks. Thanks again. :)

have fun
