[I'm forwarding to the list a dialog I had with Wayne re launching a
 substitute telnet client from Lynx on WinNT]:

Setting up a telnet.bat with this in it worked:

C:\WINNT\system32>type telnet.bat
start telnet-teraterm.exe %1

I must have missed "START" in my researching...

That doesn't happen to me in 95, I can flip back to lynx right away and 
all is ok.  Does NT support the start command?  I just made a telnet.bat 
file in 95 that had "start edit.com" and it went fine.
