>>Rather than an API call, I'd recommend installing the Windows Scripting Host files on your target PCs, and then using Scripting.FileSystemObject to perform the necessary work. You can get more information on the WSH (part of Win98 and Win2K, and addable to almost any system by running a self-installing, redistributable exectable that can be downloaded from the same web site) at msdn.microsoft.com/scripting

>I have windows scripting and use it for all sorts of fun things like drive mappings, and adding printers. I must admit that I am complexed by how this would serve me in the area of DOS functions. I was reading a little on the interrupts and thought that would be a little more self explanable, but it wasnt. Any direction on how I might deploy a WIndows script that would simulate a DOS XCOPY or DELTREE funtion.

Take a look at the Scripting.FileSystemObject - it has methods for copying/deleting folders and/or files. There's no 'simulation' needed - the following would delete the C:\WIDOWS\TEMP directory and anything subordinate to it:

oFSO = CREATEOBJ('Scripting.FileSystemObject')
oFSO.DeleteFolder('C:\Windows\Temp')

You could write the same thing in VBScript, JScript, or whatever language you wanted to use. The same thing in VBScript:

DIM fso
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
fso.DeleteFolder("C:\Windows\Temp")
