Of course you must change the directory as per your locations.
Using notepad, create the following little file and name it whatever.txt
rem starts MMD.EXE AND THEN START MMTTY.EXE
@echo off
start "" "C:\DXB07\BAT\MMD.EXE"
start "" "C:\MMTTY\MMTTY.EXE"
EXIT
be careful of the spacing of all those quote marks.
Save it to a good location.
Then using explorer, rename it to whatever.bat
That makes it a executable batch file
In DXB, go to Programs menu Item
Click on Customize
Click on Add
In Menu Text Give it a name..
In the Command box, enter the appropriate location where you saved the .bat
file
In my case it was C:\DXB07\BAT\MMD.BAT
Click on OK
You can now assign a keystroke shortcut if you wish via the Tools Menu Item
or can just click on that choice from the Programs Menu Item and choosing
from the drop down list.
If you want, you can add a Programs menu similar bat file for all the other
of Oba's programs such as MMVARi, MMSSTV.
Just change the line in the .bat file and give it a different name.
