The fact that the _parser_ initiates the "before command" gives me a problem because I need to modify the Plucker.ini file with my batch script before the parser reads the ini file. So as you suggest, the answer is to run the plucker-build from the batch script. I see the answer to my 'Start command and wait til done' question is in the 'Start' docs - ahem, once more a case of RTFM. -- Chan
