 ML>>>> do you see the initial FD copyright line before the WFC
 ML>>>> screen comes up?

 GM>>> Nope.  The BTM runs as far as the next line, gives me an
 GM>>> "Access denied G:\AE04F89B.000" and then ceases all
 GM>>> activity until I press Ctrl-Break:

 ML>> the error is in trying to access that file... its not anything to do
 ML>> with x00 or FD...

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

seems not... seems that you've got 4DOS swapping out of memory and set to not 
use a unique filename for each instance...

 GM>>> C:\Util\X00153A.EXE E 1 B,0,115200 R=4096 T=1024 F=8 |
 GM>>> tee /a %ramd:\x00.log
 GM>       ^^^ ^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

yes, i saw that but the above filename is not even close and so can't have 
anything to do with x00's logging...

 GM>>> Without "Install=C:\Dos\SHARE.EXE /f:4096 /l:25" in my
 GM>>> config.sys file, the above line runs with no problems...
 GM>>> ???

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

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

nah, i think that Dan Egli hit the nail on the head and that it is 4DOS' 
swapfile...

 ML>> whatever the situation, something has that file locked in a
 ML>> "DENY ALL" mode... the file may be being read or written to...
 ML>> the key is to find out what has that file and why...

 ML>> this "error" isn't really an error... is it a valid file sharing
 ML>> "code"... this is along the same lines as getting used to using
 ML>> passwords and not leaving them blank or of poor, easy to guess
 ML>> choice...

 GM> I suppose I could loose the "| tee /a %ramd:\x00.log" part in
 GM> that line...

i feel that that's not the problem... i'm more inclined to look to your 4DOS 
ini file and see the swapping settings in there as well as what uniqueswapname 
is set to...

 GM> Do you know if SHARE will handle pipes (as in "|")?

yes, it has not problems with them at all... as long as they are not open in a 
restricted mode ;)
