Stamp Project of the Month - RATBAS

This program looks to be quite useful but the instructions
say to run it "from the command line" with two file names
appended - My question is: what command line? In WinDoz 98
I don't have a command line and in DOS the .EXE file says
no go in DOS. This stuff is boggling my old brain...

Please help me out.... thanks, premena

    You can run it using Start | Run or you can open an MSDOS prompt and run it
    from there (not DOS -- but an MSDOS prompt in Windows).

    Perhaps someone will be kind enough to write a WSH shell that lets you pick
    a file name graphically :-)

    I haven't had any bad reports so either a) it works OK, b) no one is using
    it, c) no one could figure out how to run it :-)

    Dosshell.exe has been around for years. It allows you to run a program by
    double clicking on it from a file list. You can also create a list of files
    and select the one you want to run next. It works pretty good.
