    From ALAN@1:123/140 to ALL on Tue Sep 25 19:36:40 2018

    I get.....loosely

    not an operable program or batch file.

    Is that really the path to jsexec on your system? Perhaps:

    c:\sbbs\exec\jsexec binkit install

    An actual error message instead of what you're sorta loosely getting would help identify the problem with more certainty. :)

    "c:\exec" doesn't look right. Did you mean "c:\sbbs\eexc"?

    Also, when running commands from a Windows command prompt, you need to use backslash (\) as a path separator. Are you new to MS-DOS or Windows too?

    You are of course likely right. How did that / get in there? I thought I
    cut and pasted. Oh well.

    Sorry I should have written it all down rather than paraphase it.

    I think that was a typo, somehow.



    Also, when running commands from a Windows command prompt, you need to use backslash (\) as a path separator. Are you new to MS-DOS or Windows too?

    I was first introduced to computers in the early 80's with DOS. I
    consider myself to be about a medium user.

    Hopefully that will work.

    Your system puts a lot of the configuration into the hands of the sysop.
    Hard to learn but I see myself as getting there. Hopefully I can set
    binkIT up today and poll my bossnode.

    Oddly enough, I tried running 'c:\sbbs\exec/jsexec' on a Windows test machine last night - lo and behold I got the jsexec help output. Who knew.
