Tricky

I've been thinking too about Syntax Error's method...

Problem is indeed that WinXP has "Cmd", while win98 uses "Command".... If Blitz would have a way to read Evironment variables you could solve that problem...

(don't know the Blitz variant if it exists, but for the easiness I'll call it GetEnviron)

ExecFile GetEnviron("COMSPEC") & "/c ren OldFile.txt NewFile.txt"

If Blitz supports this, the problem is solved... (For the DOS-Call that is, an internal feature would be a lot better)...
