Hi Ton, Check out the 'shellCommand' entry in the Transcript Dictionary. I don't recall which used which, but some Windows versions use "command.com" and others use "cmd.exe" as shellCommands -- I'm quite sure it's in Ken Ray's tips'n'tricks pages. Hope this helped, Jan Schenkel. ===== "As we grow older, we grow both wiser and more foolish at the same time." (La Rochefoucauld) __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
