156.0. "APL2001: Unable to locate command for this option" by VMSNET::S_VORE (Smile - Mickey's Watching!) Tue Mar 11 1997 11:13

    Insert the PATHWORKS 32 7.0 CD into my system, get the pretty autoplay
    screen.  All the functions work except for "What's New?" which gives me
    an alert box:
    
         ^
    	/!\ APL2001: Unable to locate command for this option. Please
       /___\   report the problem to customer support.
    
    
    As far as I can tell, since "Release Notes" works and autorun.inf has
    the same command for both pwreadme.txt and whatsnew.txt, they should
    both work, right?
    
    Any ideas why "Release Notes" works but "What's New?" does not?

    Aahh, I think I see... I should be looking at kit.ini instead of
    autorun.inf, right?  KIT.INI has different entries for pwreadme.txt and
    whatsnew.txt
    
        Kit6=NOTEPAD.EXE {RUNPATH}\pwreadme.txt
        Kit7=SHELL {RUNPATH}\whatsnew.txt
    
    Is this as it should be, or is KIT.INI wrong?
    
    nb - I can double-click on any .txt file, including pwreadme.txt and
    whatsnew.txt, and get it in my text editor (which is not notepad).  
    Is the SHELL command not doing the right thing, I wonder?  Is it
    supposed to use the same associations that Explorer uses?

Supposed to... but then some NT v4.0 systems don't seem to allow a launch of
the proper executable for a text file from a 16 bit application.

File a QAR to have the kit7 line changed....
