Running fp 4.8 for DOS on Windows XP home edition

[Bob @ MidCity Office]

When I ran fp 4.8 on XP I created a menu "ntfix" with one choice: ping
Then to I started fp from this batch file in my FP directory.
(my fp and filepro directories were in directory fpMidC)
This script presents the menu, you press 1, then X, then the
filepro menu appears.
I got this from this list a few years back.

echo lx | p ntfix
set PFDSK=C:
set PFPROG=C:\fpMidC
set PFDATA=
set PFCMARK=20
set PFDIR=C:\fpMidC
p.exe
