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 -- Snail-mail: Marco Hoffmann e-mail: mhoff AT stud DOT uni-hannover DOT de Gretchenstr. 51 or mhoff AT gmx DOT net 30161 Hannover http://www.stud.uni-hannover.de/~mhoff Germany, EARTH :-)
