Re: [ECS] Help with External command file... Don Stephens Tue, 4 Jan 2000 10:12:04 -0800

Morning Mark...
 I'm sorry I wasn't clearer. I want to process a file using the
set state operator..ie
Do   PC-Bell     Set  4
When I set a Text Item (a file named command.txt) with the above text in it,
to set state, nothing happens. I tried formatting it like the above and
PC-Bell   4
neither works. Any suggestions?
Thanks:
Don
