 LP> Greetings,

 LP> What is a cmd file & what is the difference between it & an exe
file?

A file with an extension of .CMD is treated by the command interpreter
(not coincidentally named CMD.EXE) as either a batch file (which uses
the
same syntax as DOS), or a REXX program.  For it to be treated as a REXX
program, the very first two characters of the file must be '/*', which
is
the beginning of a REXX comment.

REXX, in case you haven't figured it out by now, is a
programming/scripting
language built into OS/2.
