Hi Bill,

It sounds like this is your scenario:
You have an app with UI that is running, and you want it to occasionally send/receive info to/from another invisible 'helper' app. Is that correct?

If so, can you use sockets in your environment? That would be a simple way to get the interaction you want between the 2 apps.

Or maybe I misunderstand your scenario.

Best -
Phil

Doing this on startup works perfectly but I don’t see how my app can get 
notification any other way while it is running.

I’ve tried openCard, preOpenCard, openStack, preOpenStack, and resumeStack but 
no luck.

To get the args, just know that any word is an arg, and a quoted string counts 
as one word, so this:

on startup
   put $1 &cr& $2 &cr& $3
end startup

...when call from:

  ./myapp ThisIsArg1 "And this is a multi-word arg" "this,is,delimited"

...would give you:

   ThisIsArg1
   "And this is a multi-word arg"
   "this,is,delimited"

 From there you can parse to your heart's delight.

That is, once we figure out how your app will get notification...
