Hi All,

I have a piece of archiving software that has a command line interface
(operated via a msdos command prompt) and being able to automate some
repeated tasks would have huge benefits.

I will explain how to manually complete the command in hope that someone can
give me some pointers on how I might automate the command:-

1) Open a dos command prompt
2) Navigate to the directory containing the file needed to be archived
3) Run the command from the directory

The problem I am facing is that the command cannot accept the file's
location as a paremeter and you have to select the directory.

Could the shell command be used to complete the above steps? i.e. can you
issue multiple commands to the same command prompt window?

Any help would be really great.

Ta

Andi
