Yup, I mentioned that in a later message... > Still: > * Not tested on Win95.

I only have a Win98 machine handy (and tested on that). Thanks. > Other than that, please expand to address all scripts. > Rob Rob, There is a design issue here that I'd like to address before I work more on this. I recall your comment that this should be tied into the logging subsystem. Unfortunately, this would involve a much more complex code, with pipes and forks. The same is true if we want "tee"-like behavior, i.e. windows popping up *and* output going to a file. The way this is implemented now is the output stream of the script process is tied to a file, but the limitation is that the file is written right away. Do we want a more complex design now, or should I just allow running a generic script with output going to a file (for the moment)?
