Genius! Any idea how to launch a console app using this trick? i.e. I develop a console app in lazarus (the $TargetFile()) and want to launch it but leave it open. Cmd /k was what I thought. other option would be to make a ms dos batch file, that launches a command window, and run it. Or like the other poster said, create a launcher program -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org http://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus
