Speaking of Execute() I just got WShell (as well as AREXX) and I see two executables regarding this function. SetExecute and PatchDOS. What's the diff? The docs only describe SetExecute. Also, I understand that RunWSH provides a "path" back to the CLI. This means that RunWSH'ed programs that Execute() others that require console input can get it there, right? An example would be a DirUtil that executes ARC and ARC asks to overwrite an existing file "Y or N?" I can respond from the CLI that launced the DirUtil. Am I getting that right? On the other hand, does RunWSH provide a "RunBack" kind of ability? I have been using the ARP ARun NOIO facility for this. Finally (This time around. Thanks for your patience), launching a new WSH from WB (or a PopCLI kind of thing – once I have done SetExecute) obviously means stuff from older WSH's is not inherited. I have to create a new RESIdent list. Assuming it's the same, am I using additional memory? Thanks, Bill. — Art
