Thanks. You are right! I renamed it into the 8 letters
directoryname and it works. The variable LANGUAGE with ´de´ as
value and RHIDEOPT ´-M´ work, too.

The DOS-window in which all this works is called by going the
default way: the START-Button (win95 surface on
NT4.0)/Programme/Eingabeaufforderung. I don´t know to which
executable this is linked. When I choose an executable like f.
ex. cmd.exe  from winnt\system32 instead  to get a DOS-window,
there is no mouse and the keys work only shortly, then beeps come
instead. Just wanted to mention this.

cu,
Marco
