Yes; in a single-tasking environment, it is difficult to avoid using a temporary file for pipes, but you could also write a utility to read the boot device and set a variable in the *master* environment. I think a utility called mset is available in fdpkgx.zip which is able to set a variable in the master environment and the source code should be in fdpkgs.zip. It will add, remove, or change an environment variable in the first compatible freecom instance (0.84 or later iirc) > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Create and Deploy Rich Internet Apps outside the browser with Adobe(R)AIR(TM) > software.
