Ahh, then see the calling syntax required for amverify. The docs were quite obtuse at the time I was doing this, and may still be. You will have to maintain in your script, the starting slot as a local var, and pass that to the amverify pass invocation from your script. The lack of that is why its returning a -1 slot I believe. I'd post mine, but its both long, and to me, butt ugly due to the methods I used to extract some of the local vars used, and now somewhat double uglied because the tape stuff is still there but commented since I'm using vtapes now. I don't think it would help the confusion factor, but contact me off list if you'd like to see it. >> >Thanks to all of you. >> > >> >Giovanni >> > >> > >> >------------------------------------------------------------------ >> >--- - Il contenuto della presente comunicazione è riservato e >> > destinato esclusivamente ai destinatari indicati.
