You can find your process structure with either FindTask(NULL) if you are started from the CLI or as part of your Workbench startup message if you are started from the Workbench. --Chuck McManis uucp: {anywhere}!sun!cmcmanis BIX: cmcmanis ARPAnet: cmcmanis@sun.com These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.
