RE: Looking for a DLTOBJ command..

Walden,

I love a challenge...

Hm, lets check out Leif's site....yep that'd be helpful.  Might have to go
on my x-mas list.  

But doesn't do me much good today.

On to google.....Dang, a one byte change is all it takes????

Don't know if I want to go this route or not yet.

Seems like a bad thing to do, but obviously you've done it.  How common is
hacking a program to system state to allow for calling system domain
programs?

Thanks,
Charles
