The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 3.5 
- Microsoft Windows NT Server version 3.5 
- Microsoft TCP/IP-32 for Windows for Workgroups, version 3.11 
- Microsoft Windows for Workgroups version 3.11 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When you run an FTP script file in Windows for Workgroups version 3.11 with
TCP/IP-32, commands like "! pause" (without the quotation marks) do not work
properly.

CAUSE
=====

The "!" FTP command is not supported with TCP/IP-32. The release notes for
Microsoft TCP/IP-32 states the following:

  "The FTP application which ships with this product does not support the '!'
  command, which typically invokes a user shell."

WORKAROUND
==========

To work around this problem, do one of the following:

- Install Windows NT version 3.5

-or-

- Record a macro with the Recorder application using the FTP command and assign
  it a shortcut key instead of using a script file. In addition, make sure that
  the playback speed is set to Recorded Speed.
