I was actually thinking about that in the back of my head.  I've got an 
older version of Warp, I might give it a spin.  If it flies, I would 
recommend eCS for this environment.  Thanks for the suggestion.

Just to make sure I understand this though....  The way it currently 
works is, she boots a windows box, starts a program from a desktop icon 
and it shutdowns windows, then fires up the dos program.  Do you think 
it will still be a viable solution?

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
