I have a little application that has no need to run in an open window, but I can't use start /min to run it. It is a rexx program that calls some os2 exe code. Right now I have the rexx code call itself like this Original invocation: "example" then the program parses the startup arguments and calls itself with start /min example run_me where the "run_me" parameter is used to check whether this is the first or second invocation of the program. This works OK, but isn't very clean. So back to my question, is there a way for a rexx program to cause itself to be minimized? A second question. The os/2 applicaiton my rexx code starts likes to throw a lot of garbage to the screen. Currently I redirect the output to a file and then delete the file. Can a redirect it to a null file? -Joe Burkley burkley@opus.nosc,mil
