Hello.  Im writing a program here that gets a bunch of input from the user, 
then SHELL's and runs a program with a bunch of parameters.  Im running QB45 
under Win95, and am wondering if there is a limit on the length of the 
command that shell can run.  Like here is the command:
shellcmd$ = "c:\windows\command\edit.com blahj blah more stuff that totals 
about 160 characters"
shell shellcmd$
and i get an error when running the program.  I remember seeing somewhere 
about a 128 byte limit, is this my problem?
