SUMMARY
=======
The Windows 3.0 PIF Editor on-screen Help program incorrectly documents the
Program Filename box.
MORE INFORMATION
================
Pressing F1 while the cursor is in the Program Filename box brings up the Help
file for that topic. The last paragraph gives instructions on running other
commands or terminate-and-stay-resident (TSR) programs before loading an
application.
Help displays:
* Create MP.BAT (with a text editor) and make the last command
MP.PIF
However, when this batch file is run, MS-DOS gives the error message
Bad command or file name.
MS-DOS does not recognize the PIF extension as a valid executable filename.
Solution
--------
To correct this problem, remove FILENAME.PIF from the batch file.
