Hi, Ken

Thanks a lot for posting this revised version! :-))

Your new version now works fine in my side:

function GetCDName pLetter
  set the hideConsoleWindows to true
  put pLetter & cr & "dir" into
url("file:c:/temp.bat")
  put shell("c:\temp.bat") into tResult
  delete file "c:/temp.bat"
  return line 6 of tResult
end GetCDName

>From the resulting line, i could get the full
CD name even if the name has spaces like "30 OCT 03"

But still, i do not understand why the engine
executed always the first part of the "IF" 
statement: if the shellCommand is "cmd"...
when in fact the shellCommand is "command.com"

Thanks again and...

Happy New Year for every Developer of every
platform in every programming language
in this earth!!! :-)
