Glad you got it working, Mike.
Command.com does have it's limits, short 8.3 names for example. But,
command.com's only reason for being included with an NT OS is backward
compatibility with old 16 bit programs.

CMD.EXE and COMMAND.COM

Thanks! Running in command.com worked well. Don't need to use Mode
Con. I'm using Aurora 3.0c, not the 32bit ver. On my previous machine,
it crashed when trying to recompile the editor, with my user.aml and
macros. The file manager bug in Aurora32 that you described would be a
problem for me. I wrote a macro (external) to display a dialog window
with a list box of open file manager windows. I use the FMGR windows as
a kind of pick list for various filespecs, ie. .prg, .h, .bat, often in
different directorys.
I found that by adding NTCMDPROMPT to config.nt I can shell out of the
editor to cmd.exe instead of command.com, which of course is more
flexible.

Aurora32???

Aurora32 Notes about Win2K: While I have been able to run Aurora32 under
Win2K, you can cause a repeatable crash, in my experience, by using the
File Manager to load files. Invoking the File Manager from the "File"
pull down menu or starting the editor with the File Manager on the
opening screen will lead to a crash when a file is selected. Avoid the
File Manager and you stand a chance of editing. Aurora32 was programmed
to run under previous versions of Win32 and in my opinion needs to be
updated to deal with known Aurora32 bugs and whatever compatibility
issues have been introduced in Win2K vs prior OS releases. I was able to
edit files once they were loaded via the "File|Open" menu using an
explicit path and filename. Another way I was able to load and edit
files is to use the "Tree" macro to navigate to the file. Tree can be
found either in the Macro List or in the File pull-down menu. Although
Tree looks a lot like the file manager when running and probably uses
many of the same functions, it does load the file(s) for me instead of
crashing. I have commented out the "File Manager" item in the File menu
(see menu.aml) so that I am not tempted to select it and I have Aurora32
open to a new file instead of a File Manager window. The DOS version of
Aurora appears to run well under Win2K, so that is an alternative (but
it limits your window size). [kn, Jan 11-17, 2003]. <quote>
