I'll attach the full text of the dialog box and also as much pertinent
info as I can find. I am running W98SE, and am not running antivirus.
Unfortunately, I am a DJGPP newbie, and I don't know how to invoke 'ls'...
sorry I am so ignorant about the program :/. Is this the same as the UNIX
command 'ls'? Typing 'ls' at a DOS prompt doesn't do anything ("Bad
command or file name").
Here is a lot of info about my system -- too much info, I know, but in
trying to include helpful information, I wanted to be sure I had the bases
covered. The first sections are the exact text of the error dialog box,
the rest is info from "properties" or msconfig. I tried to be case
sensitive throughout...

Quit all programs, and then restart your computer.

then select Help, Troubleshooting, and 'If you have trouble running MS-DOS

The program encountered an invalid page exception.

(everything the same except...)
Fault location: 0028:5332334F
In both cases, from RHIDE or from the C:\ line, the DOS window closes, so
I don't see any DOS errors.
