I have had problems with the run command, FPD2.6 under MS-DOS (actually 
MS-DOS and 4DOS).  If I remember correctly, FPD wants to not only see 
command.com, but actually run command.com.  My solution was to change 
the comspec variable from 4dos to command.com before running the FPD 
app, then put it back upon exiting.
