Hi Larry,

I'm not trying to get the return from a USE ?. Sorry for the confusion.

My example would be this:
CDCV I'd like that to expand to CD C:\CsiDev\VcPrgs and execute the command in the command window.
With CEE I was able to do this by ending the expansion with ^^
I'd like the 'Enter' to fire the command, not to create a new line.

Does that make sense?

>Bill,
>Don't wrap the command in a TEXT...ENDTEXT. Put your keystroke combination in the Abbrev field and add your USE ? to the Data field. The USE ? will fire as part of the script and you can return any text you want after that. Perhaps what alias was opened or you can return "" to clear it from the Command Window.
