I like this idea too.  I'm trying to setup a "generic"
config.sys, then just
have a Rexx program modify needed settings such as PATH, LIBPATH, adding
drivers, etc... instead of trying to maintain 3 or 4 seperate config.sys's.

Well I am going to start on this this weekend. I plan on having a basic
config.sys that bring me to a command prompt (No WP shell, No Net ect...).
I will have at the end of the config.sys call a rexx script that will give
me a pop-up menu. From there I will make my selections & then the system
will reboot with the modifyed config.sys. I'll let you know how it goes & I
will net mail you a copy when I get it up & running.

If you can think of anything better let me know.
