Hello,
At work I have a notebook with Win98 and WinXP. I'm using XPs boot menu. I have several programs that only will run in dos. I made an config.sys and autoexec.bat in the root dir. of the 98 partition. The menus work fine, but what I need is a way that when I close the dos program, I can go automatically back to the main menu instead of booting Win98.
Thanks, Vinnie

You are not very specific here but I guess that you mean:

Boot computer -->XP bootmenu --> choose W98 --> load a Menu for DOS-apps --> load a DOS-application --> close the DOS-app -->get back to the Menu for DOS-apps

That shouldn't be to hard. What you have to do is to turn off the default way win 98 has to load into the GUI. In C:\msdos.sys go to:

[Options]
AutoScan=0
BootMulti=1
BootGUI=1
DoubleBuffer=1
WinVer=4.10.2222

change the line BootMulti and BootGUI as above.
This will give you an option to choose to boot into either win98 (the graphic explorer shell) or into a DOS environment. In that DOS environment you create/move your menu with different commands.

Good luck! (and get back here if I totally misunderstood you)
