Yes, I understood that DOS4GW was required to be in your
DOS path.  My problem turned out to be that I had a copy of
the *real* MS-DOS COMMAND.COM in my root directory and my
root directory came before my MDOS directory in my path
statement.  So, when using the command line: COMMAND /C
etc, I was attempting to run the wrong COMMAND.COM under
OS/2. Once I fixed my CONFIG.SYS path to find the MDOS
version first, all was well:-).
