Steve, You have the ability to pass parameters in R:base, but you should be sure to clean the stuff up so you don't have any weird problems.
Example, I want a program that computes the area of a square, and I want to pass it the length of the sides and the program will write the result to the screen. I call it like this: run square.cmd using 3, 2 square.cmd looks something like this: set var side1 real = 0 set var side2 real = 0 set var side1 = .%1 set var side2 = .%2 set many=~ cle var %1, %2 set many=% set var varea real set var varea = (.side1 * .side2) write 'The area of a box of', .side1, 'by', .side2, 'is', .varea cle var side1, side2, varea return You want to clear out your % vars as soon as you are done w/ them so they don't get in the way in case you call other programs passing parameters. Because all vars in R:base are global, it really is not necessare to use them. Troy Sosamon >===== Original Message From [EMAIL PROTECTED] ===== >Could y'all gimme' a few words about parameters?
