    Sure, no problem. Flattery will get you d**n near
anything with some people. <grin> Both of these routines go
in the NuShell function, with SetShell coming right before
the DOS EXEC call, and FixShell coming right after.
Something like this:


 CALL SetShell                           '|<<---- Add this line
 '    - - - - - - - - - Existing code begins - - - - - - - - - -
 RegXs.ax = &H4B00                       '| Set up for CALL InterruptX
 RegXs.bx = VARPTR(ParmBlock)
 RegXs.dx = VARPTR(ChildName)
 RegXs.ds = VARSEG(ChildName)
 RegXs.es = VARSEG(ParmBlock)
 CALL InterruptX(&H21, RegXs, RegXs)     '| Call DOS EXEC function
 '    - - - - - - - - - - Existing Code ends - - - - - - - - - -
 CALL FixShell                           '|<<---- Add this line

Logan
