that sounds most likely - with further testing the number of files I can
select and pass through varies.

in win2k the properties window I get for the shortcut has these tabs:
General, Shortcut, Options, Font, Layout, Colors, Security
Options has familiar looking options - cursor size, display options,
command history (buffer size, number of buffers), edit options -- but I
don't see anywhere to actually change the environment memory?? does this
live somewhere else ?
many thanks
