Control stuff like that is something that I've never attempted with Dosemu. However, since it sounds like you're planning to dedicate a computer to this task, I'm thinking that you might save yourself considerable hassle if you simply install Freedos (or something similar) on the computer and leave it at that. If the only job this thing does runs under DOS, then why fight city hall, as it were. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com
