That's fine, but I would also need an eyeball on the config window to be
able to relate to it.

In W2k, there was a directory labeled MSDOS7 and it contained the
executable command.com/exe ... which doesn't exist in XP...However, there
is still a DOS file called command.com in the system32 directory under
Windows in XP. In fact, rather than do a DIR /g/whatever, all you need to
do is run tree.com and you can see the entire C: drive structure...who
knows, if you play with tree.com /x you might even be able to see a page
at a time.

I'd have to look at the System32 directory on my Vista laptop, but I
already know that it will execute batch files. Not to mention that one can
still open a DOS window and it will run Irex just as it did in W2k.
Windows 7 & 8 might be without that command file, but I doubt it.
