I learned it long ago on the forum. It may be one of those things you have to know before you can find it in the documentation. > It does not (and should) appear in "Command entry codes". Maybe that would be a help. However I think I was trying to launch a file via script instead of command list entry when I needed help. BTW, you could have done your task with existing functionality using a script, and run your script in your command entry. Something like: local moddate,newestfile for each line thisfile in file.listfiles(...) if (file.getdate(thisfile,"m") > moddate) do moddate=file.getdate(thisfile,"m") newestfile=thisfile endif endfor do(newestfile) Regards, Sheri
