Thanks, Bill. I'm not a WShell user, though. I wanted to use the CLI process number as a way of ensuring a unique identifier, like AmigaDOD batch files can (e.g., the SPAT file). I think I'll use something like time("seconds") instead. That should be good enough (any way to get ticks since midnight?). Actually, I see that someone else suggested 'pragma("Id"),' which should work perfectly. Terry Carroll, Santa Clara, CA Internet: tjc50@juts.ccc.amdahl.com
