Subj : Redirecting TEXT in Take Command To : All From : Joe Caverly Date : Tue Jan 01 2002 07:38 am From: jlcaverlyca@yahoo.ca (Joe Caverly) Hi, I'm using; Take Command/32 2.02B Windows 95 4.00 Take Command/32 Revision B (131) Windows 95 Build 1111 B I have the following batch file; TEXT | set _option = %@SELECT[con,1,1,25,80,"Test of Text"] Option 1 Option 2 Option 3 ENDTEXT According to the Take Command help file, I should be able to re-direct the output of the TEXT command, which this batch file does. However, it opens a new instance of Take Command to do so. Thus, the _option environment variable is not returned in the environment from which the batch file is launched. Is there a method which will allow me to set the _option environment variable, and to NOT launch a new instance of Take Command?
