Hi Mike,

HSTART is what you want.  I use it with Professional Point to call IREX.
You may need to put WAIT in the batch file as well.  Below is the batch
file I use to call it from PPoint:

@rem THIS BATCH FILE IS USED INTERNALLY BY PPOINT
@CLS
@HSTART "IREX" /C /F /WAIT D:\IREXX\MAILER.CMD
@CLS

Also, below is the mailer.cmd file that executes IREX:

REM Internet REX command file
d:
cd \irexx
rexp
hwait


PPoint will sit and wait for hwait before it continues.  That gives time
for IREX to up/download the packets so they will be there for PPoint to
toss when it resumes.

Regards,

Stephen
