Hallo Paul
PW> I think it's because the command is a .BTM file; win95 (or at least 
PW> mine!) doesn't seem to like executing .BTM files "directly". 
Yes, even if you have associated btm files with 4DOS.COM, there remain a few 
restrictions. W95 does not recognize btm files as executable. So you cannot 
place a btm file on the desktop and use it as a drag and drop target. 
According to JPSOFT's support, you would have to patch W95 files to change 
this.
I do not know, however, how this may relate to your problem. If the btm file 
does not get executed, perhaps a fully qualified call (C:\4DOS\4DOS.COM 
mybatch.btm) or something like that might help?
