Hi Cal, You can start up a standalone from the commandline with
C:/path/to/standalone.exe param1 param2,... ~/applications/standalone.app param1 param2... In your standalone you can retrieve the values in $1, $2,... anywhere in your scripts: put $1 into fld 1 get item 2 of $2 If your standalone is already running, you can use sockets to communicate. Here's http://qery.us/1a2 an example of using sockets for telnet communication. Once you understand how sockets work, you can use them for inter-application communication. On Mac OS X, you can also use AppleScript: set myScript to "answer \"hi\"" tell application "Revolution" to do script myScript Of course, the script limits apply, but if you only want to set the value of a variable, this should be sufficient. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 Become our partner in sales http://qery.us/16r Start selling Color Converter today. 20% commission!
