I ended up using system to do what I needed. I read a post from DJ answering a similar question and best I can figure I did not understand the documentation on how to spawn. It's a wee little bit terse. If you go to the mail archives you'll find dj's reply to spawn and a couple of examples on how to use it. Regards Ian.
