Hi Lutz,

Found gold right away with your suggested Google queries. I'm going to create a generic VFP launcher and pass prg file names to it.

Thanks,

Alex

Scripting Languages

>>The built-in scripts are mostly shell and PERL scripts, but you can use any scripting language you like as long as it can be run as an executable. The shebang line (#!/bin/sh) in each script defines how your file should be interpreted. So, to use a different language, all you have to do is change it to the path of your interpreter.
