[aprssig] dos on a winxp machine

[Tad Burnett]

Gates William BASIC still runs under XP.. Do .BAT files still run ???
You can create .BAT files with BASIC and then exe them from the primary
.BAT file... That saves you from ever having to drop back to DOS prompt
which will dump you back to XP...

That was a trick I learned on the PCjr running ramdisk and not wanting 
to goto
DOS because that was on very slow floppy on the jr....

I used it with W98 to do some of my old DOS stuff but I don't know if it 
still
works with XP... but I bet it does...
