I may be mistaken, but if you specify a command line of $ command Logical-1, Logical-2, ... Logical-n then, before you read anything with CLI$whatever, these logicals are converted into their actual meanings. In other words, the first thing read is the first value in the list represented by Logical-1, and so on. Again, I may be wrong, but my experience in general, is that you get actual values and not symbols through CLI$* function. Hope this helps (and is correct). +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Mark H.
