subject: Calling another batch file...

Hi Raymond!
Quoting your message of 08 Apr 98, 14:06 o'clock
to All in area "4DOS" about "Calling another batch file...":
RB>    AutoExecPath = C:\4DOSEXEC.BAT
RB>Well, no matter what I do and what I try, I cannot get 4DOS to call
RB>(load) 4DOSEXEC.BAT - for some reasons, 4DOS always call (load)
RB>AUTOEXEC.BAT 
I found in the help that there's also an AutoExecParms option.
The help says that AUTOEXEC.BAT will get the parms specified here
as %1, %2 etc. - or the filename specified with AutoExecPath, if 4DOS
is loaded with the "/p" option.
Didn't check into this myself as of now. Maybe it helps you in
experimenting. I guess the description of what happens when
AutoExecPath is set must be wrong somehow, AUTOEXEC.BAT is always
called but %1 holds the name of the batch to call - or something like
that.
Kind regards
        Peter
