Shell Problem - Windows

[Mike McManus]

Yes I dropped the quote, sorry, I always seem to do that when I write. The dir listing does work. The next command does not. It is a shell command. The ImagaMagick program works via command line. Like I said wonderfully, on my OSX machine. The commands all work via the dos prompt in 98. And if I turn the hideconsule on, I see the window come up and then close. Just no result or return. Or completion of the command. Have quoted both the command and everything else I can think of at different times. But without some kind of result I am at a lose. When I do use the wrong command, the result comes back as a bad command. That much is good. But I really need the results in all cases.

Driving me crazy....since the program is done...except for it doesn't work on the Windows side!! arggghhhh!!
