(Such as "open _document_ with Microsoft Word", or "Go stack foo"). You should also trap for unauthorized departure by putting an "on closeStack" handler in the stack script. This handler could ask for a password, etc. Hope this helps, ************************************************************************* John Boswell boz@eleazar.dartmouth.edu Dept. of Chemistry boz@dartCMS1.BITNET Dartmouth College, Hangover, Nude Hampster 03755
