Nah, I understood what you meant about replacing by name. I was thinking about references to a compiled script from a compiled script. I don't think that is actually an issue with "input string", I was just wondering about how scripts that call each other store the reference to the script that they are calling. I know in the older implementations of hspeak, scripts called each other using autonumbered id numbers, and those could change if you recompiled. I don't know if that is even still the case anymore. --- James _______________________________________________ Ohrrpgce mailing list [email protected] http://lists.motherhamster.org/listinfo.cgi/ohrrpgce-motherhamster.org
