Attached is a mcl macro file to show how to generate a REPORT file, and then shell to DOS to load that REPORT file in Edit Plus.

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??

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.
