    I guess I am just a software Luddite at heart; after all, I don't
believe in Object Rexx, either :-).  I thought I was explicit enough in
my reply to Mike on why I don't use, nor like, third-party substitutes
for CMD.EXE.  As I said, if I want such "conveniences" I write them
myself.  I prefer dealing with my idiosyncrasies to dealing with someone
else's.  Too hard to remember the command language, otherwise.

    I don't believe in Partition Magic, or any of the WPS enhancers,
either.  But, you pays your money and takes your choice :-).

    Regards,
