Hi KlumpDud,
Haven't seen ya in a while. Never ran 2K, but it may be like other versioin where you have to quotes 'round the path. Won't hurt to try  TwoRails |

hey TwoRails,
Must be because my computer's been working so well.  Anyway, i found out that there are two versions of the command prompt in 2k and xp. the first version, which you open up by going to start>programs>accessories>command prompt, simulates the old dos in that it can't have file names longer than 8 characters and so program files would look like PROGRA~1 the second version, which you open up by going to start>run and typing cmd.exe, allows longer file names with spaces. |

Lucky you!! LOL -- Seems like I've been fighting them more than using them lately...
 Glad to hear you figured out your problem! |
