Would have been so much nicer if that command was "automatically" inserted
into System.ini or, at least a "LocalLoadHigh=0", so someone would know to
query about the intent of LocalLoadHigh...

Could you suggest a URL that might provide some insight about some more
"unknown" commands for System.ini?  I Googled for System.ini and was
overwhelmed by the results.

Yes, that would work, thank you.

Yes, CDD does exactly that (Change Drive and Directory), and it is an
internal command with 4DOS -- there are external utilities that will
perform the same task.  I like your suggestion of specifying a different
"Working" directory for each .PIF and will try that.

           Thanks ... Gerald
