You didn't. It was not a typo. It was the other problem. You have a
string constant longer than 256 characters. The fix is to break it up the
assocfilter setting into smaller constants. This has already been for for
the expression as a whole, so we are just doing more of the same.

I recognize the code. I use the Object Packager to trasport settings
between systems. You might try the binary package format. It's a bit
more compact. It's a good idea to zip up the .pkg files for transport.

That either a PATH problem or because REXX has not been initialized. Your
problem is probably the later.

REXX is normally initialized by PM. If you don't load PM, you will need
to start REXX manually. I use Ken Kahn's bos2rexx.exe from his BOOTOS2
package. Run it as

start \os2\bos2rexx.exe

BTW, you will not be able to restore your desktop from an Alt-F2 boot.
The INI file handlers are loaded by PM.

It's not the best, but it will usually work OK as long as the system is
otherwise idle

>How can I get this to run when booted to the maintenance console in eCS?

Open a command line session and run it.

Note that if you are booted from the maintenance volume, you will restore
the object on the booted volume. Is this what you want?
