For those interested in learning about scripting there are many, many resources and nearly as many shells to use. In general, I find the O'reilly books to be very useful. www.orielly.com These three provide the basics: Classic Shell Scripting By Arnold Robbins, Nelson H.F. Beebe This is a good place to start. http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/shellsrptg Unix in a Nutshell, Fourth Edition By Arnold Robbins This will help you understand the tools available. Shells and scripts are good, but you need tools, too. http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/unixnut4 sed & awk, Second Edition By Dale Dougherty, Arnold Robbins sed & awk describes two text manipulation programs that are mainstays of the UNIX programmer's toolbox. http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/sed2 Once you learn these, you can look into the many other interpreters "out there."

I try to use it for all my scripts since it adds debug logging and setups several useful macros. It may be a bit much to digest initially, but I think it's useful.

I'm very newbie in this Foxboro World, and I feel very glad that I=3D3DB4m not alone!. How can I identify this corrupted display files? How can I fix it? About scripts... When we talk about shell, we are talking about ms command window or XP =3D3D MKS? Can anyone give me a script example for this? I'm sure that I will need a lot help at the beginning but I really want to help as I can. Regards, David A. Vergara S.

I created a shell script which calls dedit and then moves the file to =3D3D the desired directory (as would have been specified with the -wuout =3D3D argument. Also we had crashes of dedit in the past but were always able to =3D3D pinpoint this to a corrupted display file or a display which contained 'off =3D3D screen elements'. Normally it's very robust. In our case it runs on a daily base to =3D3D retrieve all display linking on hundreds of displays. Kind regards, Patrick Martens Total Raff. Ned.
