ok, I have tried everything to get the shell command to work for me. Now it is Monday, and I am thinking that possibly it is my os that is the problem. I am running win95, would that be a problem with the shell command to open up my text file?? Any words of advice or encouragement?? Thanks, Rick

Ok, here is what I've got. It's derived from Andy's and Dan's posts:
There are two macros; one codes the file and the other opens it.
Assign each to it's own button.
The first one (need to insert your machine and template files in the CODE
command):
STRING:#SHAPE
#SHAPE=SHPFILE()
STRING:#CODEFILE
#CODEFILE=STRIP_EXT(#SHAPE)
CODE[FN=STRTMP("%CODEFILE.NC"), MS1="<your machine file.smf>",
MT1="<your template file.tmp>", SH=1, DC=0, ST=1, DT=1, SP=9]
STRING:#LASTFILE
#LASTFILE=STRTMP("%CODEFILE.NC") //this variable is used by the second mcl
and the second:
SHELL[CMD_LN=STRTMP(%#LASTFILE), DP=1, WA=1]
Obviously, the second macro is dependant on the first. It will not run
without a value for #LASTFILE.
If the two are combined, then the file will automatically open after coding
as in Andy's example but without the yes-no prompt.
Enjoy the weekend
Pete

This is an example of the macros i use to post code:-
This macro will open the code file in an editor after posting it.
//THIS MACRO GENERATES CODE FOR THE CINCINNATTI SABRE 2000 VERTICAL M/C
//WITH AN ACRAMATIC 2300 CONTROL.
STRING:#FILE_NAME
STRING:#EXTN
STRING:#YESNO
#EXTN=.DTM
PAUSE[TX="PRODUCE CODE FOR THE SABRE ? OK TO CONTINUE
CANCEL TO EXIT",PT=1]
PROMPT[TX="ENTER PGM NO. INCLUDING .M09 FILE EXTENSION",
VN="FILE_NAME", DV=0]
PROMPT[TX="DO YOU WANT TO OPEN THE FILE AFTER POSTING IT?
ENTER 1 FOR YES AND 0 FOR NO!",
VN="YESNO", DV=0]
AUTO_ANSWER[AA="OK"]
CODE[FN=STRTMP("M:\\NCOUT\\%#FILE_NAME"),
MS1="L:\\SmartCam\\Smf-tmp\\Sabre.smf",
MT1="L:\\SmartCam\\Smf-tmp\\Sabre.tmp", SH=0, DC=0, ST=0, DT=0,SP=9]
IF(#YESNO=0)
GOTO(LABEL)
ENDIF
SHELL[CMD_LN=STRTMP(M:\\NCOUT\\%#FILE_NAME), WA=0, DP=0]
@LABEL
#YESNO=""
#FILE_NAME=""
#EXTN=""
If you setup file associations in explorer the code file will automatically
open in the application it is associated with if you answer yes to:-
PROMPT[TX="DO YOU WANT TO OPEN THE FILE AFTER POSTING IT?ENTER 1 FOR YES AND
0 FOR NO!".
