*sigh*  That's what I get for posting before I've had my second cup of coffee.

Quite right - "try" refers to a label in the batch file, not an
external command.

It's been long enough since I've done anything significant in batch
language that I forget that was doable.I sit blushingly corrected.

(The last significant batch stuff I did was using CMD under Windows
7,Pro as part of a setup to run Firefox from a RAMdisk  Iwas inspired
to try that by what I used to do with a RAMdisk on the old DOS PC.

The batch file ran on Windows startup, and unzipped an on disk copy of
the Firefox profile to the RAMdis to do it, and a shortcut started
Firefox using the on RAMdisk profile. Worked a treat, and sped up,
performance a lot.  The fun part was saving changes made in that
session back to the zipped copy on the RAMdisk.That required being
able to intercept a Windows Shutdown event, and do something when it
was detected.  The shutdown script zipped the changed RAMdisk copy
back to HD. Group Policy Editor would let me define a shutdown script,
but GPE is only available on Windows Pro and above.

These days I'm on Win 10 Pro, booting off an SSD.  While I have a
RAMdisk, the SSD is fast enough that there is no benefit in running FF
from it.)
