You can execute a single shell with the command "sh" (or "tcsh" or "bash" or whatever shell you prefer), then give it multiple copy commands with Shell.Write. If it's still too slow, I think you're out of luck -- keep in mind that both the shell commands (cp and ditto) and RB's own file-copying commands are already using API functions, and not purposely wasting time about it. It's unlikely you could do any better with declares, unless there is some shortcut available due to the unique constraints of your app. Best, - Joe -- Joe Strout -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Verified Express, LLC "Making the Internet a Better Place" http://www.verex.com/ _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives of this list here: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html>
