Looking into this topic myself. How many CADs can one run from a single WP/AW? Can it be more than the number of DMs/FVs?

This is a bit of a maintenance effort, but... You could also maintain that association (CBP to file name) in a file and have your script search the association file (grep) for the file name to display. This is much better, but requires a bit more script work. I'd go this way. Second Problem - The most common thing is to run two CADs on the WP and use a filter to segregate the displayed messages. It works well.
