Andrew,

The following are two batch files that I have tried without success.

****************************************
Batch file #1
pilrc helloworld.rcp
m68k-palmos-gcc -c HelloWorld.c
m68k-palmos-gcc -o HelloWorld
m68k-palmos-obj-res HelloWorld
build-prc HelloWorld.prc "HelloWorld" HWLD *.grc *.bin
exit

Batch file #2
c:\palmdev\pilrc pilrc helloworld.rcp
c:\PalmDev\PRC-TOOLS\H-i586-cygwin32\bin m68k-palmos-gcc -c HelloWorld.c
c:\PalmDev\PRC-TOOLS\H-i586-cygwin32\binm68k-palmos-gcc -o HelloWorld
c:\PalmDev\PRC-TOOLS\H-i586-cygwin32\binm68k-palmos-obj-res HelloWorld
c:\PalmDev\PRC-TOOLS\H-i586-cygwin32\binbuild-prc HelloWorld.prc
"HelloWorld" HWLD *.grc *.bin
exit

Result of both batch files #1 and #2
Bad command or file name

This is what my autoexec.bat file looks like:

scribbled some thoughts:

Hi,
I have installed some applications that require settings be made
in the autoexec.bat file.

I have made the necessary entries, but the autoexec.bat
file doesn't seem to be read when booting up.

ie: From a DOS prompt I should be able to invoke various
applications that have been referred to in the autoexec.bat
file - however only a message BAD COMMAND OR FILE
NAME is displayed, as if nothing exists?

Any ideas?

Dingus.



Could you post the commands/script?

NOTE: Spelling is important, as are correct paths and if
there are any spaces they need to be enclosed in quotes.
