Thanks Duncan! That sounds reasonable. What I do today is actually using a .BAT file and read the name from a temp file created by a python script. It works, but it's slow and the "batchfile-language" gives me the creep ;-) I'll try to find out why it does work in command.exe/WConio though. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
