I was waiting for someone who actually knows what they are talking about to comment, but nobody did, so I'll tell you what I heard (I don't have the C/Set yet). I believe a named pipe shows up as a file, and DOS processes can open the file like any other. If this is the case, then you can communicate between them in this way. I don't know if this is accurate information, though. Chris
