Lon,

Have you set up kixtart on your logon servers, yet? Everything you're doing here with .bat is possible in kixtart.

I like cmarti's basic idea.

Cmarti.. some questions on your code posted..

1. Why have your line say:
CASE @INWIN <> 1 GOTO WIN95 instead of
CASE @INWIN = 2 GOTO WIN95?
What is the benefit of the first line over the second?

2. Why not use Kix's internal copy command instead of a shell to the windows command interpreter?

Like this:
Copy "\\earth\dyreport\*.dic" "N:\"

3. Is the Cookie1 line necessary?
