Beware the HOST command, which works quite well. You may need SYNCHRONIZE to ensure that you don't end up with many, many threads (DOS sessions).

Also, many DOS commands don't seem to work INTERNALLY in Windows 98, even though they may be fine when called directly from a command prompt. e.g. MORE, CLS, RENAME, DELETE and ERASE all fail, but MOVE works OK.

I agree that calling REGEDIT in this way would be asking for trouble

If you are trying to INSTALL an Oracle application, you can use the Oracle Installer...

Good luck,
Mike Rainville
