Of course it is.  ;D This is not my first OS/2 System :) Whats strange is that this is the only system that functions this way.

Also whats the best way to figure out which version of ArcaOs I have installed? I can't remember if this was a 5.0.3 or 5.0.4 base install?

Examine the \sys\install\install.flg file for installation version date and details.

Neil,

Thanks, that works. Looks like it time for a little Rexx Programming to create a ArcaVer command script.

Cheers,

Hi Eric, also if it could be a nonsense, the following would represent my next step if I had same issue: in my OS2 Warp 4.52 I have the Startup folder (inside OS2 System folder). Every file in this folder runs automatically after the system boot.
If you have same, then try to put a copy of startup.cmd there

Strange indeed. One thing, that I would try, would be to create a new STARTUP.CMD file, copying the contents into it.

You could put startup.cmd to XWorkplace Startup Folder and set Initial delay and Per-object delay. On my system (ArcaOS 5.04) ePDF PrintMon object (Print2PS.cmd rexx script) didn't start at boot, when it was in OS/2 Startup folder. It could start manually. Now it is in XWorkplace Startup Folder and starts every boot. XWorkplace Startup Folder Initial delay is 3000 ms and Per-object delay is 1000 ms.
