Subject:	SCOUG-Help: Numlock on startup

Content Type: text/plain

Being of the "Numlock on" persuasion, I just installed a program that
I hope will make "Numlock on" the default on my machine. It's a REXX
routine with a good-sized DLL file, and is called from Startup.CMD
during booting.

It works just fine so far; but now the Startup.CMD window no longer
closes after execution. It stops with a C:\ prompt displayed, and I
have to click in the window and then type in "exit" to close it. Not
a big deal, but bothersome. Anybody got a clue to what might be
causing that?

Details:

The Startup.CMD file: md r:\util
md r:\cache
D:\RELISH\STARTNOW
D:\NUMLOCK\NUMLOCK
exit

The Numlock.CMD file: /* NumLock.DLL */
CALL RxFuncAdd "NumLock","NumLock","NumLock"
If NumLock()=0 THEN SAY 'NumLock activated.'
EXIT

I found that the program could not see NUMLOCK.DLL if it was just in
the same directory with NUMLOCK.CMD, so it is now with other DLL files
in an on-path directory that I created some years ago for such
circumstances. That part works fine.
