If you can capture what event director shoots off to it's system when you press the recompile button, you may be able to simulate it by duplicating the system event with your extra. This might take sometime to do if you are not familiar with this kind of thing though. And no, I'm not familiar but I have colleagues who have done simulate things. Hope that helps..

Hi Bhakti, The reason I want to do this is I've been writing a little authoring tool for generating scripts -- running as an 'Xtra', it generates scripts from some templates and user settings. It also does some error checking, documenting and formatting of existing scripts. Its been working well, except that the code it generates needs to be 're-compiled'. Its not a major issue, really - I just wanted the code it generated to line up nicely.
