Let me add that it seems to work "as-is" on a Win2000 box but it needs modification
to work on NT4.
The "%1" after the dir command should be eliminated. NT4 does not include quotes
around the pathname that gets specified as a command-line argument when the DOS window
is spawned. This means that a space in the pathname will "break" the entire process
since NT4's DOS will see the portion of the pathname that comes after the space as
an additional argument on the DIR command-line.
In fact, I'm not sure that it's even needed at all. The dos box spawns in the correct
directory on its own, so giving a filespec to the DIR command seems redundant.
