    Typical. Spend all day yesterday trying to figure this out then in
    frustration post to the newsgroup... then figure out the answer ten minutes
    later!

    I was making two assumptions that turned out to be incorrect and were
    causing me grief:

    1. The asp process would be excuting in the same directory as the source
    .asp pages - it's not, it's executing in %systemroot%\system32... so you
    need to explicitly define the path.
    2. Standard cmd prompt commands like 'dir' would just work - they don't!
    Haven't sussed out how to make them work yet. Might just use a batch file
    instead.

    Anyway, thanks for reading :-)
