Lucien, that is indeed a valid point. In my experience though I have found systems where the users have modified it from standard by installing 3rd party utilities and/or deleting commands that _/They/_ never use. You say well thats their problem. (I know I said that when I got here) But then regardless of why something does not work ... RING RING hello technical support can you help me.

So I have tried to avoid the run command because of SO many hours on the phone across the globe literaly because the (L)user deleted the format command because they did not use it very often and wanted to conserve space.

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animated contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsel or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen."
