It's there in cocoon.bat already! But I've just found out that it does not affect $* :-( https://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/TechNet/prodtechnol/winxppro/proddocs/percent.asp That page has code showing how to handle more than 10 parameters, but I can't immediately think of how to get that to work when you just want to pass them on to another app in one go, rather than one by one. So I don't know what to do (other than make the CLI ignore 'cli' as its first argument) :-( > The problem while using $* is, that $0 is passed > (http://www.labmice.net/articles/batchcmds.htm#variable).

Just downloaded from CVS, should now be able to do updates, we'll see... Regards, Upayavira
