I am a Robert A. Heinlein fan and choose that name to commemorate the author 
(and it's easy for me to type)...  ;-)))

Ahhhh.  I see I neglected to specify that the command separator on my system 
is the tilde (~) character.  Sorry for any misunderstanding and yes, you are 
correct -- command separators within Autoexec will function when 4DOS is 
loaded via Config.sys, first and that the command separators are only within 
4DOS specific sections of a (multi config) Autoexec.
COMMAND.COM doesn't like the command separator character ...  ???
              G'Day ... Gerald
