I never have a problem running the Dosprompt while Windows programs are running myself, but I haven't tried very specifically what you're doing. It _is_ too bad that MS is the one who's making Windows. I wish they'd get out of the OS business, it's not one of the things they're known for being good at. Dos is pretty good, but they bought that from someone who had cobbled his own OS, so it wasn't even theirs. Pete
