If you haven't seen or used Chris' WPSWizard then in short what it does 
is add a button bar to all folders.  He has buttons that will open a 
command line into the same directory as the folder (e.g. I have a folder 
on my desktop d:\deskstuff, if I use the button it opens a command line 
to d:\deskstuff).  I prefer 4os2 in this case solely because I have 
gotten so used to the tab complete.  Hence I am trying to modify his 
script. 
This is the only line I am changing.

ADDRESS CMD 'start "Command line: 'WPSWizCallFunc("cwQueryRealName", 
ARG(2), 0)'" /F cls'

I am not familar with the ADDRESS CMD but found that it seemed to work 
more or less with the way I changed it but then I get minimized.  If I 
launch it with start it launches a cmd.exe that then launches a 4os2 and 
they do not have focus.  I have seen similar issues in REXX where focus 
was not give but I was able to see what it was doing and fix those.  In 
this case the script only works when it is used as a button and I can't 
follow what it is doing.  I was hoping I was just missing somthing I 
didn't know about ADDRESS CMD that would fix this but apparently not.
Thanks,
Andy
