Subject:	SCOUG-Help: BA2KWS and RSJ problem

Harry,

To change from the C:\ prompt to a G: prompt in an OS/2 window, I typed G:
and hit enter, and G:\ and hit enter. Then I tried preceding each of
them with cd and hitting enter. Nothing worked. But tonighr G: and enter
changed the prompt from C:\ to G:\.

I think my system is getting flaky because I haven't backed it up for a
year. I started that process with the results in my message about BA2KWS.

Thanks for the help and information about BA2KWS. I will contact
Intradyn, Incorporated.

Jack
