I don't think I understand. Existing use of quiet takes 2 forms: PipeRead command quiet PipeRead "command args" quiet If we allow: PipeRead command args quiet then the only restriction is, if you want to pass the arg "quiet" to a command, you have to quote the command and its args. Thats a little strange, but it doesn't look too bad to me. -- Dan Espen E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 444 Hoes Lane Room RRC 1C-214 Phone: (732) 699-5570 Piscataway, NJ 08854 -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL:http://www.fvwm.org/>.
