But the point is here, that you CANNOT use that *.cmd file. If you use it and one or both
*.INI files have not been updated, then your repairs to that file(s) will not take affect. You
have to simply WAIT WITHOUT DOING ANYTHING UNTIL THE OS WRITES THE
REPAIRS TO THE OS*.INI FILES

Because, with Warp 4 you've got to wait for the write update, before you do anything!
