Running a .bat file

    I'm getting tired of using windows explorer to locate my .pss file to turn
    off the Read Only properties so I created a .bat file which works ....

    attrib -r lb.pss

    But I can't get it to work from a button ....

    ^C^C(command "shell" "PSSATT.bat") or ^C^C (startapp "PSSATT.bat")

    The .bat file is in the same folder as the pss file and I tried adding the
    complete path to the macro.

    I see the command window flash but the property remains read only.
    Suggestions?

    Yep, I added a cd to the bat and it worked. :) Thanks for the tip.

    Yep, I got em and I like this better than the .bat approach. Thanks. :)

    You're welcome. That is just about the only ET function
    that I use (or did use). I quit using that plotstamp long ago
    due to the silliness of that read only business and no option
    at the command line to change .pss files. I personally liked
    the hard-wired stamp that R14 had better than anything else.
