If you are going to run a shell like COMMAND.COM under MarxMenu it is sometimes better to use DROPTO.BAT which is created during the install process. DropTo allows you to jump from the temporary batch file that MarxMenu creates to DropTo, which deletes the temporary batch file and executes the rest of the command line.
Usage: DROPTO %0 COMMAND.COMIf you are using DropTo inside a MarxMenu, the %0 is automatically added for you.
Example:Here's how it works:
OnKey 'C' DropTo COMMAND.COMDROPTO.BAT ---------- DEL %1 SET KSV= SET MXCMD= %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
$MX00000.BAT <------deletes this file--------+
------------ |
DROPTO %0 COMMAND.COM ------------> DEL %1 >-+
SET KSV=
SET MXCMD=
%2 executes COMMAND.COM--> %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
The advantages are that the temporary batch file is eliminated so if the
user never returns to the menu, it leaves no temporary file to clutter
up the drive. Also, DROPTO.BAT becomes the pending batch file that is
running rather than the temporary file.
