Does anyone know what I'm not doing correctly here. Here are the scripts to open the displays: 1.=3D20 #!/bin/sh LBUS=3D3D$1 /usr/local/pref -$LBUG dmcmd "ov /<<filepath/file.fdf>> -sticky -ontop = =3D 2" 2. #!/bin/sh CB=3D3D"$1" #Compound Block Name TYPE=3D3D"$2" #Alarm Type LBUG=3D3D"$3" #Station /usr/local/pref -$DMNAME dmcmd "/<<filepath/file1.fdf>>" sleep 1 /usr/fox/wp/bin/tools/show_win "FoxView $GCLBUG:$DMNAME" pref -$DMNAME dmcmd "=3D3D P1 $CB" sleep 2 /usr/local/pref -$DMNAME dmcmd "/<<filepath/file2.fdf>>" Thanks, Ngozi Kalu Albian Sands Energy Inc P.O.
