Dang, gotta be there....hate to ask, but I guess I need to see the whole thing....a floppy would be very nice now. because we could redirect the output to a text file.

This just cannot be that hard

I must just be forgetting something....let me install windows 98 on an old box and get back to you.....take a break....come back tonight as this will take me a couple hours.

[sylamore]

there is no win.com or win.anything anywhere in here....i am about at my wit's end, how about you?

[sylamore]

i will go ahead and copy down all the rest of the entries and post them for you but it will take a little while to do that. i will try to b back on tonight but it may b in the am...
