This message has been marked as the solution to the initial question of the thread.
So it will work on both OS versions:
LOCAL lccmd
lccmd=GETENV('comspec')
IF 'cmd.exe' $ lcmd
    !CMD /C batchfile.bat
ELSE
    !COMMAND /C batchfile.bat
ENDIF
>Having a problem as a result of the change from Windows 95/98 to Windows 2000. We have an FoxPro app that creates a pair of batch files. The second won't function correctly when executed by FoxPro or VFP, but will when executed directly from Windows2k.

>Any suggestions on resolving this?
