You cannot easily edit CONFIG.SYS from a batch file, whereas you *can*
add entries to OS2.INI from a batch file :
/*MYINSTALL.CMD*/
/* ... lots of setup stuff and command line parsing ... */
'XCOPY '||SourceDir||' '||TargetDir
/* Save the location of the INI file in OS2.INI and put */
/* the default setup information in the private INI file. */
Call RxFuncAdd 'SysIni','RexxUtil','SysIni'
result = SysIni("USER", "INI Location",
"MyApplication", TargetDir)
result = SysIni(TargetDir||"\MYAPP.INI", "blah",
"blah", "blah")
