A .cmd file is OS/2 answer to a batchfile. Many times, you can rename your BBS 
bat files to .cmd and they will work. That is assuming you have the OS/2
equivalents to the DOS programs. I did it with my mailer when I switched from
DOS to OS/2.

However, there is another part to .cmd files and that is REXX. REXX is a
command interpreter or better yet, a scripting language that really enhances
the .cmd files. you can do so many different things with rexx files.


Have a good day!!
