I don't think it is possible to read / write to the registry from a 16-bit
application. The functions to do this are part of the Windows API. This
means that you need a *Windows* program to do this. What you might have
seen is a console application - not a plain DOS app.

BTW: Does anyone know where the "New | Console App" has gone in BCB3? I
had to copy a BCB1 project...
