Summary: First "Argument" is ignored/eaten. Keywords: parsing,wshell,a500, Message-ID: Date: 7 Jan 91 01:22:12 GMT Sender: news@noose.ecn.purdue.edu (USENET news) Organization: Purdue University Engineering Computer Network Lines: 36 Well I have been having a little weirdness of late. Set up: A500,2.5Meg,1.2KS,1.3wb,(NOT 1.3.2) Wshell,conman,arp commands. I used the program Custreq like so. CustReq Ignored RUN_VLT Run_IT Don't_Run -d 1 -t 5 ; ^^^^^^^ If WARN Echo "Loading VLT" rb vlt48:vlt EndIf as a little script to get executed, the "IGNODRED" word MUST be there for the command to work correctly on my system, If i leave it out then CustREQ ACTS like it got the line below CustReq Run_IT Don't_Run -d 1 -t 5 ie. It'll "eat" the "RUN_VLT" message, and put the "RUN_IT" as the message and "DOn't run" as the left button and "-d" as the Right! Ie. It Eats, the first argument, and then works on the rest.. Does anyone know WHY? I' remember having this problem with ARC, and ZOO a long time ago, but it "Disapeared" I THink this is a Problem with WSHELL...
