That file is *_#supposed#_* to be G:\X00.LOG.....

 ML> what is G:\AE04F89B.000? what is using it and for what purposes?

G:\AE04F89B.000 appears to be a randomly generated file name....  Every
time I try to run the FrontDoor BTM (when SHARE is loaded via config.sys),
the BTM halts and the file name is always different.  It is almost as if
SHARE doesn't agree with / like the 4DOS TEE command. ???

I suppose I could loose the "| tee /a %ramd:\x00.log" part in that line...
Do you know if SHARE will handle pipes (as in "|")?

           Cheers ... Gerald
