PART II
There is a strange thing: AT will not run on a mapped drive. If I run the program to, say, c:\files\htmlfiles all goes well. If instead I share htmlfiles and do a net use l: \\wks\htmlfiles and then try to run the program on L: nothing happens. The program does not run. Both, the shared directory and the mapped drive are on the local machine: wat's the difference?

TIA
