   That's fine, but I would also need an eyeball on the config window to be   
   able to relate to it.

   In W2k, there was a directory labeled MSDOS7 and it contained the   
   executable command.com/exe ... which doesn't exist in XP...However, there   
   is still a DOS file called command.com in the system32 directory under   
   Windows in XP. In fact, rather than do a DIR /g/whatever, all you need to   
   do is run tree.com and you can see the entire C: drive structure...who   
   knows, if you play with tree.com /x you might even be able to see a page   
   at a time.

   I'd have to look at the System32 directory on my Vista laptop, but I   
   already know that it will execute batch files. Not to mention that one can   
   still open a DOS window and it will run Irex just as it did in W2k.   
      
   Windows 7 & 8 might be without that command file, but I doubt it.
