Re: Can't open a .vbs file

Thanks, Alan.

One more question:

there is already an entry in the DOS window that reads "C:\documents and
settings\owner>" and the flashing cursor is the next character after the >
symbol.

Shall I simply add the first line of the command to the end of the existing
text or shall I add it in some other way and then press "Enter" and add the
second line?
