I see where the trouble is...you appear to be running DOS under XP, which is a NO-NO.
The RSS will not work with anything but DOS period, and certainly NO DOS shell.
Since this is a newer machine (as you are running XP), I would turn OFF any processor caching as well as any other caching your systems may be using.
I get hick-ups when I had EMS or high memory use as well, both of which are DOS related, I disable those as well and never have problems.
Machine speeds are also a major concern for older radios.
Good rule is to use a 486 or slower machine for the older radios and you should never have any problems programming.
Enterprise.....One to beam up!

the only way i've found around xp is to use a 98 or ME startup disk and start the maching in dos then take that disk out and run the program from a floppy, it's small enuf that it can fit on 1 floppy. should work the same for win2000 also.
