It is often nice to know whether someone has typed any paramaters or not. Howeverm you can't say : IF %1 == "" goto usage and you can't say: IF %1 == goto usage but you can say: IF %1foo == foo goto usage That will evaluate true only if there is no %1 given. _____________________________________________________________ Jordan Bortz UUCP : ..decvax!cbosgd!mddc!jordan ARPA : ..cbosgd!mddc!jordan@berkeley.ARPA FLAMES : /dev/null on your local system
