Dear Jim,

I use the following function       exec (getenv ('COMSPEC'),concat (' /C ',Command,' "',FileName,'"'));

The one I mentioned uses /K instead of /C, this leaves the second invocation of the command interpreter running (/C exits immediately, so it changes the directory than reverts it back to the previous one immediately as the interpreter exits). This works on NT but I don't know whether the command interpreter in 9x's supports this switch or not.
