The start command starts a new DOS box. In this DOS box you have to run nmfe5.bat. I created a new icon with the target C:\WINNT\system32\CMD.EXE /c start "NONMEM DOS"/LOW /i C:\nonmem\nm5g77\path This opens a DOS box with low priority. The start command needs a DOS command to be executed. path.bat can be a some dummy command or do necessary changes in the path. Running NONMEM in low priority reduces the waiting time of other processes. The effect may be more pronounced for Win9x than WinNT. You hardly notice that NONMEM is executing in the background (after compilation phase is finished). Regards, Ludger Banken
