I have had so many problems with the OGO mailer over the last couple of
weeks - not OGO fault, I am sure - and I have only just got myself
re-registered. I posted this question on a number of occaisions but have no
idea if it got through or if anyone answered. Please excuse if I repeat
once more

Dear All,

In his text file accompanying the OGTMODE program, Marcus Groeber wrote:

OGTMODE can also be used as a command in a batch file (ie it is a device
driver and an executable program at the same time), so it shouldn't be too
difficult to write a "launcher" application in Geos that starts up a batch
file which first uses OGTMODE to switch to text mode after shutting down
Geos and then calls the requested DOS application. This way, DOS apps could
be integrated into the OG's home screen rather seamlessly.

Now this seems a great idea to me, if a little over my head in programming
terms. Anyone actually tried this?

Thanks
