I thought it might be a reserved filename that you
weren't allowed to mess with. My attempts to delete
or change *either* of these files -- say from the OS/2
DOSbox -- were always rebuffed. (Is that not
considered "outside" the WPS ?)

O.K. guys -- should you at some point reduce this to a
straightforward, bulletproof .CMD file, please post it
here.
