Running antique qbasic under XP I get a 16 bit msdos subsystem error in NTVDM which says the parameter is incorrect SOME of the time when I try to shell "sort<fil1>fil2". Suggestions for a way to avoid this?

Perhaps you should post the code that generates the shell statement?
It is possible the command processor for XP is choking on the path or
resource specifications. If your paths or fiilenames have spaces in
them you may need to put quotes around them.

Oh, maybe starting QBasic up in command.com instead of cmd.exe might
help? Just a thought.
