That's what I thought, but I wanted to check first because it used to work
fine with Amplifier, so I thought it might be some sort of MUI problem.
Thanks a mill, that's excellent...

Ah, I see, I didn't know how to use the commant, I thought it was AmigaDOS
scripts only you could get results from it in. Heh, back to the ARexx manual
