>My DOS bat files don't seem to be executing correctly from VFP. I have a few command line programs (7zip, gpg.exe) that I'm trying to run either with a a run command or writing the commands to a bat file and calling that. I have the Cmd line set to cmd.exe instead of command.com in the foxrun properties and also tried %SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32\cmd.exe. The DOS cmd window pops up briefly but nothing is executing in the window itself.
