Subject: question about mwrite
Lines: 15

I am having a problem trying to use the 'mwrite' command to
write files to a DOS floppy.  I have tried the following without
any luck:

mwrite test.gif "a:test.gif"
mwrite test.gif "A:TEST.GIF"
mwrite test.gif "A:\"
mwrite test.gif A:

Am I totally missing the boat here?  I couldn't find any man pages
for mwrite.  Do any exist?

thanks..
Robert
